The southside's driving school
Driving Lessons Brisbane South locals actually rate
Learning to drive on the southside means Logan Road at peak hour, the Sunnybank backstreets, the school-zone crawl and more roundabouts than you can count. Our Brisbane South instructors live and teach in these suburbs, so you learn on the exact roads you'll drive every day, not some quiet cul-de-sac miles away.
Whether you're starting from scratch in automatic, upgrading to manual, or booking a test-day package, every RAC lesson is in a modern dual-controlled car with a fully accredited instructor who picks you up from your door. Learning and test readiness depend on your experience, practice and progress. Discuss a lesson plan and your preferred transmission with your instructor.

Brisbane South Learners, real Licences.
Scroll through what local learners say about getting their licence with RAC.
"Muzzy is booked out for a reason! He freed me of my fear of getting back out on the road — in no time at all… he's blessed me with a skill I'll use for many many years."
"Before I started having lessons with Ejaz I failed my test a couple times. And today I PASSED!… he actually took the time to understand where my mistakes were coming from and taught me in a way I could understand."
"I had my test package with Abdul… very professional, very knowledgeable. I wasted money with another driving instructor previously — better service, better value for money."
"I've tried a couple of different instructors and found Fiona by far the best at helping me build both skills and confidence, which let me pass the test on my first attempt… I highly recommend doing both lessons and the exam day package."
"When I first started I was really anxious after previously being in a car accident. Muzzy is very calm and attentive… I am now a really confident and safe driver."
"I booked manual lessons to upgrade my automatic license to manual with Ejaz and with only 4 lessons, he was able to prepare me to pass my test first try!"
