Learn about EDTL3-4: Direction on Johnstown Road

EDT detailsL5-6: Positioning on Cabinteely Road
Cabinteely Road through the village centre mixes pedestrian crossings, side turnings, and double-parked vehicles during the school run. Holding your position while reading ahead for hazards is the main focus. A road that rewards patience and good mirror habit.
Test preparationL7-8: Traffic on Brennanstown Road
Brennanstown Road is a regular test route junction. Wide with steady traffic flow in both directions, the approach from Cabinteely requires sharp observation before turning right. Bus stops on this road add parked and moving buses to the mix.
Test preparationL9-10: Speed on the N11
The N11 runs along the edge of Cabinteely with fast dual carriageway traffic. Merging from the local slip roads demands confident acceleration and quick mirror checks. By lesson ten you should be reading the N11 correctly and holding your lane without hesitation.

I Highly Reccommend...Best Driving School in Dublin 18/ Dun Laoghaire, Sandyford area. The RSA School of Motoring Team is very Helpful and Supportive. The administration helped me when l had to cancel due to sudden circumstances, Craig was very lenient, understood my situation, twice l had cancellation but they did extra charge me. Mark the instructor...wow..wow what a guy, very passionate and he cares about our success, he is so good. I give all credit to him. Before my test today he gave me confidence that there is no reason that exist for you to fail.
Jack took driving lessons with RSA School of Motoring. I just passed my driving test and couldn’t have done it without Richard. He’s an excellent instructor, patient, clear, and always supportive. Thanks to his guidance and encouragement, I not only passed my test but also feel genuinely confident and prepared to drive on my own. I’m so grateful to have had Richie as my instructor and would highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive.
Karolina took driving lessons with RSA School of Motoring. I want to thank Andy for making my driving experience very good. I was able to pass my test first time due to the fact of having an amazing instructor that corrected any mistakes made, gave good tips and tricks to use while driving in the road that helped me to pass my driving exam. Would recommend to have Andy as your instructor.
Nicholas took driving lessons with RSA School of Motoring. I want to thank Shane for all his hard work training me up for the big day, I passed first time and couldn’t be happier. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to start their driving adventure. He was very patient (which was needed with me) and made me feel competent and calm before taking the test. I’d give 6 stars if google let me. Thanks again Shane!
