Ballyogan Road, Luas crossings, and the Burton Hall roundabouts. Your EDT covers all of it.
L1-2: Controls and Positioning
The Leopardstown Business Park on Burton Hall Road has visitor parking and quiet access roads. These are used in the first two lessons to build your controls and road position before touching the main network.
Learn about EDTL3-4: Direction Changes and Speed
Brewery Road connects Leopardstown to Stillorgan and has a busy junction at the Leopardstown Road end. Direction changes under real traffic pressure are practised here, with speed adjusted for the junction approach.
EDT detailsL5-6: Complex Positioning and Hazards
Sandyford Road mixes commercial and residential traffic and can surprise learners with delivery vehicles stopped in the travel lane. You learn to position around stationary hazards and read what is ahead.
Test preparationL7-8: Sharing the Road and Traffic
Ballyogan Road has Luas tram crossings that demand a specific sequence: check the light, check the track, move only when both are clear. Getting this right under traffic pressure is what lessons seven and eight are about.
Test preparationL9-10: Complex Junctions and Speed
Burton Hall Road roundabouts arrive close together and require consecutive lane decisions. The Dun Laoghaire test regularly uses these. Correct approach speed, lane selection, and signalling are the focus until they feel natural.
View optionsL11-12: Calm and Night Driving
Leopardstown Road at night carries less traffic but the same demands. Wet road surfaces and headlight glare on this long straight are part of the final sessions. You finish with the confidence to drive the test route without hesitation.

I Highly Reccommend...Best Driving School in Dublin 18/ Dun Laoghaire, Sandyford area. The RSA School of Motoring Team is very Helpful and Supportive. The administration helped me when l had to cancel due to sudden circumstances, Craig was very lenient, understood my situation, twice l had cancellation but they did extra charge me. Mark the instructor...wow..wow what a guy, very passionate and he cares about our success, he is so good. I give all credit to him. Before my test today he gave me confidence that there is no reason that exist for you to fail.

Sami took driving lessons with RSA School of Motoring. I did all my lessons with Richard and passed my driving test on the first try. Richard's patience, clear instructions, and calm demeanor made each lesson enjoyable and productive. I highly recommend Richard to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and supportive driving instructor.
Henrique took driving lessons with RSA School of Motoring. I had six EDT lessons with Derek and passed the driving test on my first attempt. Derek was very helpful, kind and professional; he was always on time and was very understanding when I had to cancel a lesson in short notice. Derek has given me great tips to avoid the bad driving habits, he is a very positive person and it was very good to have him as my instructor. I recommend his services. Thanks Derek!
