Automatic LessonsAdamstown is where you build real confidence
Adamstown Avenue is a modern road with roundabouts, speed bumps, and estate junctions that come in quick succession. Station Road gets congested during commuter hours as people head for the train. Celbridge Road carries fast traffic on a road that was designed for far fewer cars. Learning in Adamstown means modern estate driving, commuter traffic patterns, and building confidence for the connecting routes to your test centre.

L1-2: Car Controls and Positioning
First two lessons start on Adamstown Avenue. The road is wide and well-marked, with speed ramps that keep things slow. You get used to clutch control, steering, and where the car sits in the lane before any real traffic appears.
Learn about EDTL3-4: Direction Changes and Speed
Station Road introduces pull-in bays, parked cars, and the timing of left and right turns. Commuter drop-offs happen here in the morning so you get real traffic behaviour early.
EDT detailsL5-6: Complex Positioning and Hazards

Adamstown learners who passed at Tallaght
Bella took driving lessons with RSA School of Motoring. Derek was an amazing driving instructor. Very calm and gentle when guiding me to make corrections with my driving. I was preparing for my test which I had failed 2 times before in Tallaght, and Derek was able to give me the little push I needed to finally pass my driving test on the third try!. Well worthwhile, very polite and patient!
I’ve had a very positive experience with RSA. I have put off learning how to drive for years out of extreme fear but as soon as I signed up for the lessons and was assigned my instructor Jonathan I was immediately put at ease when learning and practicing around my zone Tallaght. He understands me and is very motivating and an excellent teacher. He has taken away my nerves and prepared me well for the test. Thank very much, highly recommend especially for those that are nerves. Thank you Jonathan 🙏.
I had the privilege of having Andy O’Shea as my driving instructor, and thanks to his guidance, I passed my test on the first attempt. He struck the perfect balance between being strict when necessary and keeping the atmosphere light with his great sense of humor. His strong character and approachable personality made learning to drive a much more comfortable experience. It was easy to feel at ease with him, which made all the difference in my progress. My test was in Tallaght. My instructor was Andy.
Andy in Tallaght is the driving instructor you need. His mix of humor and professionalism made every lesson enjoyable and less frightening. Our lessons were also surprisingly relaxed and very patient (even tho I couldn’t move the car to save my life), with him offering great advice alongside driving tips. In just 5 months, I went from a total beginner to passing my test. If you want to learn to drive with a great instructor who knows how to make the process fun and easy, Andy is the guy. He eased my nerves and his mock tests were exactly what I needed.
