EDT lessons built around Churchtown roads
Twelve lessons on the roads you already know. Churchtown Road Upper, Braemor Road, and the routes into Rathgar.
L1-2: Car Controls and Positioning
Landscape Road alongside Landscape Park is the starting point. Low traffic and long sightlines let you focus on clutch control and holding your position without pressure. Parked cars near the park entrance give you your first width judgement.
Learn about EDTL3-4: Direction Changes and Speed
Churchtown Road Lower has a steady rhythm broken by speed ramps. You practise reading the road ahead, adjusting your speed smoothly before each ramp, and keeping your momentum rather than braking hard and rushing between them.
EDT detailsL5-6: Complex Positioning and Hazards
Braemor Road presents the first real hazard challenge. Hedges and walls at both ends limit what you can see at the junctions. You learn to creep forward, read what is hidden, and position the car so other drivers can see you too.
Test preparationL7-8: Sharing the Road and Traffic
Churchtown Road Upper is the busiest stretch in the area. Bus stops, parked vans near the shops, and pedestrians stepping between cars all require stop-start awareness at low speed. You practise constant observation without freezing up.
Test preparationL9-10: Complex Junctions and Speed Management
Nutgrove Way backs up during the evening rush when the shopping centre empties. These lessons focus on queue management, holding your position without creeping forward, and judging gaps that are actually safe to take.

The final lessons connect Churchtown to the Rathgar Test Centre route. Smooth gear changes, consistent mirror routines, and the composed driving style that scores well on test day. Night driving adds light management to your checklist.
