Automatic LessonsClonsilla roads will sharpen your driving
Clonsilla Road is narrow and carries more traffic than it should. Hartstown Road has estate entrances every fifty metres and parked cars forcing you into the oncoming lane. Coolmine Road runs past the train station and the traffic spikes at commuter times. Learning in Clonsilla means tight roads, heavy parking, and unpredictable pedestrian traffic around the station.
Nearby Test Centre
Mulhuddart, 3.5km away (7 mins). Often includes Clonsilla routes in test itinerary.
Key Local Roads
Clonsilla Road, Hartstown Road, Coolmine Road, Porterstown Road, Luttrellstown Road.
EDT lessons on Clonsilla and Coolmine roads
Twelve lessons from quiet Coolmine residential streets to the Mulhuddart test centre route. All within a few kilometres.
L1-2: Car Controls and Positioning
Coolmine Road runs parallel to the rail line and has light residential traffic during off-peak hours. The speed ramps and clear lane markings make it a good starting point for clutch control and road position before you move to the busier junctions nearby.
Learn about EDTL3-4: Direction Changes and Speed
Porterstown Road links Clonsilla to the Navan Road through quiet residential stretches. You practise left and right turns at lower traffic volumes here, reading junctions and adjusting speed in time without the pressure of heavier roads nearby.
EDT detailsL5-6: Complex Positioning and Hazards
Clonsilla Road itself is the first hazard test. The bend near the church limits what you can see on the approach. You learn to slow earlier than feels necessary, hold the right position for the curve, and watch for oncoming traffic that appears suddenly.
Test preparationL7-8: Sharing the Road and Traffic
Hartstown Road runs through the large Hartstown estate with junction entrances and exits at regular intervals. Pedestrians, school children, and cars reversing out of driveways all feature. These lessons are about constant low-speed observation.
Test preparationL9-10: Complex Junctions and Speed Management
Luttrellstown Road has a country-lane character with no footpath and tight hedgerows. The shift from suburban estate to rural road happens within minutes. You practise positioning for the narrower road and managing the occasional tractor or farm vehicle.
View optionsL11-12: Calm Driving and Night Conditions
The final lessons cover the Mulhuddart test centre route from Clonsilla, a short drive along the Old Navan Road. Smooth driving, sharp observation, and the calm you need for test day. Night driving gets added so the conditions on your actual test date hold no surprises.

Clonsilla and Coolmine learners who passed at Mulhuddart
It was a pleasure learning from Shane, I passed on my first attempt at Maple House, Mulhuddart. Shane is very calm, direct and encourages good driving habits and makes sure you know why you are doing something rather than just learning to pass the test. His use of diagrams on paper and experiences with previous students make it really easy to visualise mistakes and the diagrams help you keep your previous mistakes in mind before you go out to practice. 100% recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.
Alex took driving lessons with RSA School of Motoring. I completed my 12 EDT lessons as well as several Pre Tests with Richard (Richies Driving School) in Mulhuddart, and he was absolutely brilliant; he covered every aspect of driving very well, and had me more than prepared come test day, where I passed first time. Highly recommend!
I had the pleasure of doing my pre-test with Richard. I completed my pre-test in the Mulhuddart area. I had picked up some bad habits before my test such as not checking my mirrors and changing to second gear too late. Richie fixed all these bad habits I obtained and told me where was going wrong. He was very attentive and covered every single detail for the test. Thanks to Richard, I was able to pass the test.
Rachel took driving lessons with RSA School of Motoring. I recently passed my test with the help of my amazing driving instructor Richard. He was exceedingly calm and put me at ease, while also being very thorough in all his explanations. He was very accommodating in scheduling lessons and very knowledgeable about the test routes in Mulhuddart which put me at ease before test day. Would highly recommend!
