Your 12 EDT lessons on Foxrock and south Dublin routes
Westminster Road and Brighton Road start you off. As lessons progress, you build to the N11 interchange and the routes the Dun Laoghaire examiner actually uses.
L1-2: Controls and Positioning
First lessons cover the cockpit routine and early positioning. Torquay Road's quiet residential character, with its mature tree canopy and hidden driveways, teaches you to keep eyes moving well before each hazard.
Learn about EDTL3-4: Direction Changes and Speed
Brighton Road introduces gentle gradients and direction changes with residential junction practice. You start building speed confidence on a road that is long enough to let you settle into each gear.
EDT detailsL5-6: Complex Positioning and Hazards
Westminster Road through Foxrock village is narrow with parked cars on both sides and driveways obscured by stone walls. Lessons 5 and 6 focus on hazard recognition at driveways before you can see what is behind them.
Test preparationL7-8: Sharing the Road and Traffic
Kill Lane runs between Foxrock and Deansgrange with a mix of school vans, commercial vehicles, and local traffic. Sharing the road with larger vehicles on a lane without much margin is a core lesson 7-8 skill.
Test preparationL9-10: Complex Junctions and Speed
Leopardstown Road brings a busier junction at Brewery Road and the approach to the N11 interchange. Lessons 9 and 10 build the gap selection and merge confidence needed for the dual carriageway at Cornelscourt.
View optionsL11-12: Calm Driving and Night Skills
Final lessons build consistency. The residential roads between Foxrock Golf Club and the church give you low-traffic night-driving conditions where you can concentrate on observation habits without other pressures.

Westminster Road through Foxrock village looks quiet but the granite walls on both sides give you almost zero margin. Parked cars reduce it further. From lesson one you learn to read the road ahead, not just the bonnet in front of you.
Brighton Road runs towards Cornelscourt and the N11. Joining the dual carriageway from there requires commitment and gap selection at speed. We practise the approach until the merge feels instinctive rather than terrifying.

Dun Laoghaire test passes from Foxrock learners
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.
Leah took driving lessons with RSA School of Motoring. I done a couple of pretests with Andy, he was recommended to me by multiple people that only had great things to say about him. He is kind and makes driving seem so easy. He explained in detail and always had patience with me. He really had a big part in helping me pass my driving test and made the lessons enjoyable.
Ciaran took driving lessons with RSA School of Motoring. Did all my lessons & pre-tests with Andy. His clear directions and help were absolutely brilliant. And Because of this I am delighted to have passed my test first time. Anyone who wants a really good instructor for your Lessons, Andy is your man.
I had done my EDT with a well known driving school, who I didn't find very good, and went on to fail my first test. I then got tuition off Barry from the RSA and it was world's apart. Very patient, great communication and loads of good tips and systems that helped me massively. He was brilliant on the small details and fine tuning I needed to pass my test. To top it all off he's dead sound too! I'm very happy to say I passed today and I really couldn't have done it without Barry & the RSA.
