EDT detailsL5-6: Complex Positioning and Hazards
Drimnagh Road is the main focus at this stage. Parked buses, narrow sections, and the school zone near Drimnagh Castle CBS test your positioning and anticipation. You learn to read the gaps and hold your lane without drifting.
Test preparationL7-8: Sharing the Road and Traffic
Mourne Road introduces meeting oncoming traffic in a tight space. High garden walls mean sightlines at junctions are nearly zero. You learn the creep-and-peek approach and how to manage oncoming vehicles confidently.
Test preparationL9-10: Complex Junctions and Higher Speeds
Long Mile Road dual carriageway is the challenge here. Fast traffic, commercial vehicles, and multiple exits to industrial parks. Lane selection, merging, and reading distance to the next junction are the main skills covered.

Drimnagh Road is your working road from the start. Parked cars on both sides, buses stopping mid-lane, and the school zone outside Drimnagh Castle CBS that turns into chaos between eight and nine in the morning. Your instructor knows when to take you there and when to avoid it.
Long Mile Road is where dual carriageway skills get built. It is wide, the traffic is fast, and the exits to retail parks need confident lane reading. We introduce it once you are comfortable with the basics.
Mourne Road and the surrounding estates are good for tight two-way work. The junctions have high walls that block your sightlines completely. Creep-and-peek is the only approach, and your instructor will show you the right technique.
