Automatic LessonsArtane is where you build real confidence
Artane Roundabout catches new drivers off guard every week. Kilmore Road is fast and unforgiving at rush hour. Tonlegee Road funnels traffic from Coolock and Raheny into one tight stretch. If you learn here, you learn lane discipline, roundabout timing, and how to deal with heavy bus traffic on Malahide Road.

L1-2: Car Controls and Positioning
First lessons run through the Brookwood Avenue estates. Parked cars on both sides, low speed, and junctions into Kilmore Road. You get used to clutch, mirrors, and holding your position before moving to busier roads.
Learn about EDTL3-4: Direction Changes and Speed
Tonlegee Road runs east towards Raheny and gives you parked cars, pedestrian crossings, and turns at reasonable speed. It is manageable traffic with enough happening to keep you focused.
EDT detailsL5-6: Complex Positioning and Hazards
Kilmore Road comes in at lessons five and six. Bus stops, 60 km/h limits, and other drivers pulling in and out. You learn to hold your lane and read ahead while managing speed.
Test preparationL7-8: Sharing the Road and Traffic
Gracefield Road is tighter, with on-street parking reducing visibility at junctions. You practise observation, gap-finding, and giving way correctly before moving onto the main arterial routes.
Test preparationL9-10: Complex Junctions and Speed
Malahide Road (R107) is dual carriageway. Lanes move fast, there are multiple pedestrian signals, and the merge from side roads requires real confidence. You cover this stretch in preparation for the Killester test routes.

Final lessons focus on Artane Roundabout in lower-pressure conditions and evening drives on Kilmore Road. Mock test run from Artane Castle to Killester Test Centre gives you the full picture before the real thing.

Artane learners who passed at Killester and Raheny
Sean took driving lessons with RSA School of Motoring. Had my lessons in the Finglas area with Shane. Very professional instruction, good sense of humour and good at keeping nervous drivers at ease. Shane is patient and good at explaining the why and how behind the rules too. After my first failed test I started lessons with Shane and I advanced quicker than I had with 2 other instructors. 5/5.
Adam learned to drive with Richard in the finglas area. I did my lessons in finglas with Richard. He was very patient with me and helped me greatly. It's thanks to him that I passed my test. I would highly recommend Richard as a driving instructor.
Sinead took driving lessons with RSA School of Motoring. I completed my lessons with Richard in Finglas through RSA School of Motoring and couldn’t recommend him enough. He’s incredibly patient, supportive, and explains things so clearly that I felt more confident every week. He tailored each lesson to what I needed most, and gave me so many helpful tips. Thanks Richie!
I was a student of RSA school of motoring and I had a wonderful experience from progressing through my EDTs to getting my license. I would like to thank Richard and Enes Zejnilovic who were my instructors. They went through all the minutia of all the rules of the road and how to pass your exam in the first attempt. Richard helped me before my test and prepared me to be confident, because of which I was able to pass my test in the first attempt. I passed my test in Finglas. For anyone looking to do their EDTs I would recommend you consider RSA school of motoring and also Richard!
