Take the Wheel Driving School is a new company based in Noranda who are here to help you reach your goal of passing your practical Driving Assessment (PDA). Take the Wheel is operated by Michael Brittain, a Certificate IV & Keys 2 Drive Qualified Driving Instructor. This is the highest level of instruction currently available. Michael believes that students learning to drive should be encouraged to learn to drive a manual car as this will give them a far greater scope to drive all types of vehicles in years to come. Learning to drive a manual car allows you to really be "in tune" or "at one" with your car. Using dual control vehicle teaching techniques, Michael can assist you to drive.
