EDT lessons tailored to Greenhills driving
Your EDT covers Greenhills traffic patterns. From quiet estate roads to Greenhills Road at peak time.
L1-2: Controls and Positioning
Limekiln Road has a residential character with moderate traffic and no bus lanes. It is the right place to learn clutch control, mirror checks, and basic gear changes before the heavier traffic of Greenhills Road enters the picture.
Learn about EDTL3-4: Direction and Speed
Greenhills Road has a 50km/h limit with multiple lights and lane markings that require consistent speed management. You learn to read green lights ahead, hold appropriate following distance, and prepare for sudden changes at signalled junctions.
EDT detailsL5-6: Complex Positioning and Hazards
Belgard Road runs south towards the Luas and Tallaght. It mixes residential entries, commercial driveways, and bus stops in quick succession. You learn to spot hazards in advance and position correctly before reaching them rather than reacting late.
Test preparationL7-8: Sharing the Road and Traffic
Ballymount Road brings heavy goods vehicles that sit high and change lanes without early signalling. You practice defensive spacing, mirror checks at regular intervals, and safe following distances behind larger vehicles that block your forward view.
Test preparationL9-10: Complex Junctions and Speed
Walkinstown Avenue feeds into the roundabout near the shops. Multi-lane entry requires lane selection before you arrive, not after. You work on approach speed, right-of-way timing, and clean exit into the correct lane every time.
View optionsL11-12: Calm and Night Driving
The final lessons include the full route from Greenhills to Tallaght Test Centre on Broomhill Road. Night driving on Greenhills Road teaches you to read bus stop activity and pedestrian movement in lower visibility. Test day holds no surprises.

Your first lessons start on Limekiln Road and the quieter residential stretches, but Greenhills Road is where you will spend most of your lesson time. Pickups from Greenhills Shopping Centre, the Belgard Luas stop, or Tymon Park.

Tallaght test passes. What our Greenhills learners said.
Emily took driving lessons with RSA School of Motoring. Just passed my test in Tallaght thanks to Derek! He is an amazing instructor, so calm and professional from my first time at the wheel to now feeling like a confident and safe driver thanks to his guidance and expertise. Highly recommend! Thank you Derek 🙏 ….
View on Google MapsI just passed my driving test on the first try, and that was all thanks to Derek, who was an excellent driver instructor. He was very clear, patient, and constantly reassured me that it would be alright; he made my experience very easy and enjoyable. I completed all my EDT sessions (12 hours) with him and took my test in Tallaght Center, and all went as planned. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for a first rate driving instructor.

View on Google MapsI recently passed my test first time in Tallaght and couldn’t have done it without Andy! I have had other instructors in the past but Andy was by far the best. He really cares about the success and safety of each of his students. Andy explains everything so well and made driving feel so easy, I could see a huge improvement in my driving after each lesson with him. I would recommend him to anyone looking to pass their test!
