​ABOUT US

Damon has worked in the public service for 21 years, with his employment requiring driving for the majority of his day.  He first gained an interest in teaching learner drivers from helping his friends children, then as a volunteer mentor teaching new Australians to drive through a refugee support program.



Damon was also involved in instructing the new East Timorese Police Force to drive, in the mountains on the border with West Timor, in 2001 whilst working with the United Nations.   This was perhaps the most challenging of driver training bearing in mind the dangerous roads that he and his students were presented with.



Having completed his Certificate IV in driving instruction, he is now available to assist northern Tasmanian clients in obtaining their provisional licence.



WHAT YOU WON'T GET AT BJ DRIVING SCHOOL

​

• Deliberately slow instruction in order to get more $$$$$ from you

• Large periods of quiet in the vehicle where you feel you are driving about aimlessly and not being taught a thing

• Being struck on your hand with a clipboard if you make a mistake

• Being given demeaning comments which destroys your confidence

• All the previous examples are real to life comments made to me by parents or the actual student, about behaviour of some other driving schools in Launceston.

WHAT YOU WILL GET AT BJ DRIVING SCHOOL

​

• Being presented with constant challenges and new ideas on driving to get you stimulated and learning quickly

• Every minute of the lesson critically appraised with regular in-car feedback, to make the most of your dollar

• Constructive criticism given in a positive manner to keep you feeling motivated
