P Program
Do you need some help to practise your driving or get your logbook hours up? If you hold a NSW Learners Licence you may be eligible for up to 10 free driving lessons from ACE's Award Winning ‘Licensed and on the Road’ program. The entire program has been designed to assist Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island and disadvantaged drivers to gain access to a vehicle and qualified driving instructors to practice their driving skills and achieve some of their logbook hours. If you’ve had at least 3 driving lessons with ACE before your test you can access the driving instructors vehicle to take your test in.
