EDT lessons on Loughlinstown roads and the N11
Loughlinstown Drive, Commons Road, and the N11 dual carriageway. Your 12 EDT lessons cover the routes that matter.
L1-2: Controls and Positioning
The residential estates off Loughlinstown Drive have speed ramps and quiet junctions ideal for building controls. No through-traffic pressure while you get used to the car and learn where to position on the road.
Learn about EDTL3-4: Direction Changes and Speed
Commons Road connects Loughlinstown to Ballybrack and Killiney with narrow sections and parked cars. You learn to read the road ahead, choose speed for the tighter sections, and manage direction changes on a live residential route.
EDT detailsL5-6: Complex Positioning and Hazards
Loughlinstown Drive alongside the hospital is where hazard perception becomes real. Ambulances on blue lights, visitors crossing from between parked cars, and delivery vehicles stopped at entrances. All of it covered in lessons five and six.
Test preparationL7-8: Sharing the Road and Traffic
Wyattville Road links Loughlinstown to Cherrywood and has traffic lights and Luas crossings at the Cherrywood end. Sharing the road with trams and managing signal sequences is central to lessons seven and eight.
Test preparationL9-10: Complex Junctions and Speed
The Loughlinstown roundabout is a regular test feature for Dun Laoghaire candidates. Entry from Commons Road, correct lane selection, and smooth exit onto the N11 at appropriate speed are drilled until they are automatic.
View optionsL11-12: Calm and Night Driving
The N11 dual carriageway in the dark tests your speed management and following distance. Rathmichael Road provides a contrast: a narrow country-style road heading south with poor surfaces and no lighting. Both in the final sessions.
