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.
