L1-2: Controls and Positioning
Albert Road is long and wide enough for your first time at the wheel. You learn clutch control, gear changes, and where to position the car. Bus stops along the route teach you to hold your line while traffic passes.
Learn about EDTL3-4: Direction and Speed
Glenageary Road Upper introduces right and left turns in real traffic. You build awareness of speed limits and how to read the road ahead. The gentle hill gives early practice at maintaining speed without coasting.
EDT detailsL5-6: Complex Positioning and Hazards
Silchester Road has mature trees and cars parked on both sides. You learn to identify passing gaps, hold position on bends, and spot hazards before you reach them. Limited visibility at corners demands active scanning.

Adelaide Road towards Glasthule brings pedestrian crossings, cyclists, and bus stops into the mix. You practice giving way, reading approaching traffic, and timing your moves on a road that carries a real daily mix.
Test preparationL9-10: Complex Junctions and Speed
Glenageary Road Lower connects to Sallynoggin with speed ramps and a school zone near Harold Boys School. You handle junctions at reduced speed, school zone awareness, and the discipline of not rushing through residential areas.

Passed at Dun Laoghaire. Here is what they said.
Zach took driving lessons with RSA School of Motoring. This was a great overall experience, from the booking process through the lessons. John was my instructor in D4/Deansgrange and was absolutely brilliant. During the lessons but also the prep for the test. I couldn’t have been more prepared and no doubt John is the reason I passed on my first try! Highly recommend!
Laoise learned to drive with Jonathan in the dun laoghaire area. Cannot recommend Jonathan from RSA School of Motoring enough if you are learning to drive in the Dun Laoghaire/Deansgrange areas. He breaks everything down and makes learning how to drive really enjoyable! Helped me to pass my test first time with no stress at all !
Rosie took driving lessons with RSA School of Motoring. I passed my test today at Dun Laoighaire/Deansgrange. My driving instructor, Jonathan conducts his lessons with kindness and patience, making the lesson car a safe environment for any learner. I highly recommend Jonathan and RSA School of Motoring to any learners looking to pass their driving test.
Padraic took driving lessons with RSA School of Motoring. I had Derek for my EDT, and it was an absolute pleasure learning to drive from him. Started my lessons in February, and within four months I had passed first time in dun Laoghaire/deansgrange, genuinely cannot recommend Derek more, outside of being an excellent driving instructor I felt he was a genuinely sound person.
