Automatic LessonsDriving in Kinsealy teaches you the hard stuff
Kinsealy Lane is narrow with no centre line in places. The Malahide Road junction is fast and requires confident gap judgement. Local roads have hedgerows limiting visibility at bends. Kinsealy has a countryside feel but the connection to the Malahide Road means you deal with both quiet lanes and heavy traffic in the same lesson.

EDT lessons built for Kinsealy roads
All 12 EDT lessons run on Kinsealy roads. Baskin Lane, Chapel Road, and the Malahide Road (R107) are all in the mix.

First lessons use the residential roads around Broomfield Road near the Malahide Road corridor. Wide enough to build your controls without distraction. Seating position, mirrors, and steering before anything else.
Learn about EDTL3-4: Direction Changes and Speed
Chapel Road connects Kinsealy village to the R107 and is short but unpredictable at peak times. You learn to read what is ahead, choose your speed, and plan your direction changes before you reach the junction.
EDT detailsL5-6: Complex Positioning and Hazards
Kinsealy Lane itself is the focus here. No markings, no footpaths, hedgerows at arm width. You learn to position precisely in the road and respond when oncoming traffic appears around a bend.
Test preparationL7-8: Sharing the Road and Traffic
Baskin Lane connects Kinsealy towards the Feltrim area and is single track in places. Passing spots require negotiation and clear communication with other road users. You practise giving way, holding position, and timing.
Test preparationL9-10: Complex Junctions and Speed
Joining the Malahide Road (R107) from the lanes is the biggest speed challenge in Kinsealy. Dual carriageway traffic is fast and steady during commuter hours. Gap selection, acceleration, and mirror use are drilled here.
View optionsL11-12: Calm and Night Driving
The Malahide Road bus stop area near Chapel Road junction is used for final consolidation. Night driving conditions on the R107 require steady speed management and full awareness. You finish calm and test-ready.

Kinsealy learners, real results
My instructor was Richard and I did lessons 3-12 with him. I had a great experience learning with Richie. He is calm, patient and focused on teaching me to drive safely and confidently over trying to rush the process which I really appreciated. I split my lessons between the instructors car and my own and feel confident in my driving now. When I had issues with my log book from my previous instructor, Richie helped me get this resolved and logged all my lessons promptly which can be an issue with other schools/instructors. I would highly recommend anyone to learn with Richie and feel like I got great value for my money working with him and I am now able to drive safely and confidently now.
Nsikak took driving lessons with RSA School of Motoring. Had my 12 EDT lessons with Andy O’Shea. Being a beginner, he was patient and took me through all the basics with no rush and repeated things if he needed to. His concern was helping me become a safe and competent driver than just ticking test tips and tricks boxes. All round good experience.
Prend took driving lessons with RSA School of Motoring. Driving lessons - I had lessons with Shane (based in the Rush area) who really knew his stuff and I would highly recommend. He was very friendly and could explain everything in detail and I have since passed my test.
Cian took driving lessons with RSA School of Motoring. my instructor was Richard and i did all my lessons with him. i now feel extremely confident in my driving skills after my 12 lessons with richard. he doesn’t rush you and is always very calm and understanding during the lessons. i would highly recommend richard to anyone looking to learn how to drive.
