Your EDT programme in Clonskeagh
Twelve structured lessons across Bird Avenue, Roebuck Road, and the Clonskeagh Bridge junction. Each lesson builds on the last.
L1-2: Controls and Positioning
Your first two lessons focus on cockpit checks, gear changes, and finding your road position. We use Vergemount and the quiet side streets off Clonskeagh Road for this. Low traffic, wide enough roads, and space to repeat until it clicks.
Learn about EDTL3-4: Direction Changes and Speed
Bird Avenue is the setting for lessons three and four. The gentle curves and speed ramps are ideal for practising smooth acceleration, braking, and signal timing at the junctions with Clonskeagh Road. You also start managing speed through the residential sections.
EDT detailsL5-6: Complex Positioning and Hazards
Roebuck Road introduces parked-car hazards and road narrowing. You learn to read ahead, hold a steady position, and decide when to give way. The residential turns off Roebuck towards Goatstown add junction observation into the mix.
Test preparationL7-8: Sharing the Road and Traffic
Clonskeagh Road carries buses, cyclists, and pedestrians crossing between parked cars. Lessons seven and eight put you into that mix. Bus lane awareness, mirror checks before every move, and timing at the Clonskeagh Bridge traffic lights are all covered here.
Test preparationL9-10: Complex Junctions and Speed Management
The Clonskeagh Bridge junction where Milltown Road converges with the traffic lights is the focus of lesson nine. Lesson ten moves to the N11 junction at Stillorgan Road. Filter lanes, fast traffic from both directions, and lane selection under pressure.
View optionsL11-12: Consolidation and Night Driving
The final two lessons pull everything together. We run full mock test routes through Clonskeagh Road, Roebuck Road, and out towards the Rathgar Test Centre. Night driving is introduced on the quieter sections of Bird Avenue and Vergemount.

Bird Avenue runs from Clonskeagh through to the UCD end at Foster Avenue. It is a tree-lined road with speed ramps and a junction at the Clonskeagh Road end that catches people out with its angle. Your first lessons use Bird Avenue and the quiet residential streets off Vergemount to build clutch control and basic positioning.
Clonskeagh Road itself is the next step. Bus lanes, cycle lanes, and the bridge over the River Dodder all come into play. The bridge junction where Milltown Road meets the traffic lights is one of those intersections that takes a few passes to read properly. We cover it until it feels routine.
Roebuck Road takes you south towards Goatstown and it narrows with parked cars in stretches. Judging gaps and knowing when to wait for oncoming traffic is something we practise here early on. The N11 junction at the Stillorgan Road end is good preparation for faster-moving dual carriageway traffic.
Pickup points include the bus stop on Clonskeagh Road near Bird Avenue, Smurfit Business School on Clonskeagh Road, or the Windy Arbour Luas stop a short walk away. Female instructors are available on request.
