EDT driving lessons in Kilternan and the mountain foothills
From Kilternan Village and Ballycorus Road to the Golden Ball junction and the routes to Dun Laoghaire. 12 lessons, all local.
L1-2: Controls and Positioning
Kilternan Village provides a calm starting point. Informal parking, low traffic, and a mix of turns near the church and local shops. Car controls and basic road positioning without the pressure of a busy junction or main road.
Learn about EDTL3-4: Direction Changes and Speed
Ballycorus Road heads east from Kilternan with a narrow, uneven surface and farm vehicles appearing occasionally. Lessons 3 and 4 use this road for speed adjustment and direction changes on a road that punishes inattention. It builds precision quickly.
EDT detailsL5-6: Complex Positioning and Hazards
Kilternan Road through the village is the test. Hedges close in on both sides, sightlines are short, and meeting oncoming traffic means someone has to yield. Lessons 5 and 6 work through the etiquette and car control needed for single-track rural roads.
Test preparationL7-8: Sharing the Road and Traffic
Glenamuck Road connects Kilternan to Carrickmines and carries a mix of construction lorries, commuter traffic, and cyclists. Lessons 7 and 8 cover how to share a changing road with unpredictable users. The new estate entries off Glenamuck add junction work.
Test preparationL9-10: Complex Junctions and Speed
The Golden Ball crossroads is the set piece of lessons 9 and 10. Traffic from multiple directions, turning vehicles, and poor sightlines on approach. By this stage you have the observation skills to read it. This is where they get tested under real conditions.
View optionsL11-12: Calm Driving and Night Conditions
Enniskerry Road after dark is a different road. No street lighting, steep sections, and the occasional slow-moving vehicle. Lessons 11 and 12 cover night driving and how to hold consistent, calm technique when visibility is reduced. Ties directly into the Dun Laoghaire test routes.
Book nowDriving lessons in Kilternan, from the village to the Golden Ball
Kilternan Road through the village is barely wide enough for two cars to pass. Hedges cut the sightlines short, and farm entrances appear from nowhere. This is the road most Kilternan learners start on, and it teaches you road positioning before anything else.
The Golden Ball junction is where Kilternan meets the commuter belt. Traffic from Foxrock, Carrickmines, and Stepaside all converge here. Observation is the key skill. You need to read the junction before you arrive at it, not when you are sitting in it.
Enniskerry Road heads south with gradients and limited overtaking spots. Learners joining from Kilternan need confidence in gap judgement. Glenamuck Road is busier now than it was five years ago, with construction vehicles and new estate traffic mixing in.
