The region has a new driving instructor in Young man, Tim Fanning and his business Hilltops Driver Training. Tim brings with him decades of experience in the Armed Forces, as well as with the RMS, serving as a driver instructor with both organisations. He was born and raised in Young, before moving all around Australia with the Army. He would then return to the town in 2007. His breadth of experience means Tim has a lot to offer to his clients, whether they be Learner drivers, or mature licence holders in need of refresher training. “I explain to drivers not just what to do, but why to do it,” Tim said, “The best instructor is the one you’re comfortable with.” Extensive understanding of the mechanics of vehicles means Tim is able to impart this knowledge on his clients if they wish, whether that be how to check the oil, or changing a tyre. Hillltops Driving Training will operate all over the region, with lessons available in Young, Harden, Boorowa, Grenfell, Cootamundra and surrounds. Tim recommends beginning initial training in a client’s own town, before moving to a testing site if necessary. Lessons are available in hour long sessions, with the first session preceded by an half hour long interview process. This allows Tim to create a personalised training plan, according to where each student is up to. Tim can be contacted on 0439 062 960, or 02 6382 6040.
