Your 12 EDT hours in Ballybrack, built for the Dun Laoghaire test
From Quinn's Road basics to Church Road hill work and N11 merging. Twelve lessons that cover everything on the Dun Laoghaire test routes.
L1-2: Car Controls and Road Position
Quinn's Road is the starting point. Speed ramps and light residential traffic give you space to get comfortable with the controls, clutch, and basic road position before the tighter village roads are introduced.
Learn about EDTL3-4: Changing Direction and Speed
Ballybrack Road through the village teaches direction changes in a real setting. Cars parked on both sides reduce the road to a single lane in places. You learn to read the space available and commit to turns without hesitation.
EDT detailsL5-6: Complex Positioning and Hazards
Shanganagh Road connects Ballybrack to Shankill, with mixed traffic flow, cyclists, and bus stops along the route. Hazard awareness, mirror timing, and the right road position for each bus stop and junction are built here.
Test preparationL7-8: Sharing the Road and Traffic
Church Road climbs steeply into Killiney with blind corners and limited footpaths. Pedestrians walk on the road surface, and oncoming traffic appears quickly on the bends. You learn to share the space and adjust speed on gradient.
Test preparationL9-10: Complex Junctions and Speed
The N11 southbound is the biggest step up. Fast-moving dual carriageway traffic requires confident gap selection on the merge and proper lane discipline. This is where motorway-style driving is introduced for the first time.
View optionsL11-12: Calm Driving and Night Driving
Final lessons loop through Shanganagh Park and back along Ballybrack Road in lower-light conditions. The Shanganagh Park loop is a good consolidation circuit, and evening driving brings the observation and lighting skills needed for the Dun Laoghaire test.
