Unfortunately we no longer cover Blacktown and only Penrith and its surrounding suburbs due to the fact our Blacktown Driving Instructor retired and moved out of the area.
You can make a left turn into a right lane directly as long as there are no solid road markings on the road. The lane you are turning into and the lane directly beside you must be clear before you pull out. The same goes for turning right: you may turn directly from the right lane directly into the left lane.
The only time this is not acceptable is if you are in a marked lane with turning arrows then you must end up in the same lane you started in.

Drivezone New Penrith RMS location
As you may have notice Penrith Roads and Maritime Services has moved it location to 333 High Street Penrith and is called Services NSW.
‘To contact the new Penrith Roads and Maritime Service call 13 22 13’
Driving Knowledge Test, Hazard Perception Tests and Driving Qualification Tests for the Penrith area and surrounding suburbs are now conducted from this new site.
Many new circumstances have arisen from the change in location for the driving test itself such as students will now have to pull out from the kerb into High Street Penrith out the front of the Services NSW building; this means they will have to be careful and look out for vehicles already on High Street, deal with the traffic lights not even 10 metres from where they will have to take off for their test and also keep in mind that not only does traffic come straight up High Street but also traffic turning left onto High Street coming out of Lawson Street at the set of traffic lights.
Also students must be prepared to do a reverse park back onto the kerb on High Street when returning to Penrith Roads and Maritime Services at the end of their test.
Here at Drivezone Driving School our driving instructors Dominic, Ami, Laurie and Colin will prepare you 100% for the test at the new Penrith Roads and Maritime Services site taking into account all of the circumstances that arise from the location change.
Drivezone Driving School driving instructors will take you to the new Penrith Roads and Maritime Services and teach you how to deal with all of the new test situations at the new location.

Drivezone Driving School Turns at Traffic Lights in Richmond NSW
Richmond NSW has many turns at complex traffic lights.
When making turns at traffic lights on approaching the green light you just slow right down to allow for the amber light ensuring you can stop safe behind Stop solid line.
If you are the first car waiting in line to turn either left or right you may proceed out slowly up to the furtherest pedestrian line and stop. You then need to give way to oncoming traffic, traffic turning left and pedestrians. When it is all clear you may make your turn. If whilst waiting in the intersection, the green light goes to amber you must proceed to make the right hand turn as you do not want your car to be caught stationery in the middle of the intersection once the light goes red.
When coming to a set of traffic lights always check the left hand traffic light post as it may have an advisory sign stating left turn on red permitted after stopping. If you come to this sign you must first stop behind the first line closet to you, like when using a Stop sign. Once you have come to a complete stop, you may creep forward whist checking right for traffic and if the traffic is clear or there is a safe gap to your right you may proceed with your left hand turn. Please be aware while you are waiting to turn left, your traffic lights do not go green.
If whilst waiting out in the centre if the traffic single goes amber it is safe to turn on the amber light making sure that no one in front runs the red light and all traffic is clear.
If you have a red arrow traffic light you must wait until it disappears in which case you can move put into the centre and give way or if it goes solid green you may turn.
When taking your Provisional 1 on road driving test at Richmond Roads and Maritime Services the above driving scenarios are extremely common.
