General Tips
Hurstville Service NSW Driving Test Routes Book Test
Location & Terrain: A busy urban hub combining steep topography with a congested CBD.
Traffic Conditions: Chronic congestion on Forest Road and King Georges Road. Residential streets are often narrow and lined with parked cars, effectively turning them into single-lane roads.
Hill Starts: The hilly terrain (e.g., Croydon Rd) makes "Hill Starts" a mandatory skill. Rolling back more than 50cm is an instant fail. Manual drivers must master clutch control; automatic drivers should use the handbrake.
Double Parking & Hazard Perception: Delivery drivers frequently double-park on main roads. You must safely cross the centre line to overtake them, which requires a full mirror-signal-headcheck sequence and checking for oncoming traffic.
Pedestrian Density: High foot traffic around the station and Westfield means you must be hyper-vigilant at crossings.
Common Maneuvers: Reverse parallel parking on gradients, hill starts, and navigating tight spaces with oncoming traffic.
