Learn about EDTL3-4: Direction Changes and Speed
Knocklyon Road runs the length of the area between Templeogue and Firhouse. You learn to read the road ahead, pick your speed for the bends, and plan direction changes with the school zones in mind.
EDT detailsL5-6: Complex Positioning and Hazards
Scholarstown Road winds towards Ballyboden with a noticeable climb and limited visibility on some bends. Positioning on the approach to a blind corner is the key skill here, with pace controlled by what you can see.
Test preparationL7-8: Sharing the Road and Traffic
