Oxmantown is where you build real confidence

Blackhall Place is wide but the traffic at both ends is heavy, with buses swinging out from stops. Benburb Street runs along the quays with fast-moving traffic heading west towards Heuston. The Collins Barracks junction catches learners out with the lane markings and the pedestrian crossings. It is an area where you need to read the road ahead, not just react to what is in front of you.

Nearby Test Centre

Finglas, 7km away (16 mins). Often includes Oxmantown routes in test itinerary.

Key Local Roads

Blackhall Place, Benburb Street, Queen Street, Arbour Hill, Ellis Quay / Arran Quay.

Oxmantown EDT lessons match actual test routes

Start on residential streets, build to Blackhall Place and Benburb Street. That is how EDT works in Oxmantown.

Lesson 1-2: Controls and Positioning

The side streets behind Blackhall Place are quiet and well-laid-out. Your first two lessons use them for clutch control, steering inputs, and finding your position in the lane without other traffic to worry about.

Lesson 3-4: Direction Changes and Speed

Queen Street connects Smithfield to Stoneybatter and gives you a natural mix of turns and varying speeds. You will practise left and right at marked junctions, reading the one-way flow, and adjusting speed for the narrower sections.

Lesson 5-6: Complex Positioning and Hazards

The Collins Barracks area is full of museum visitors and pedestrians crossing without warning. This lesson works on reading unpredictable movement, holding your lane, and positioning through the Benburb Street pedestrian crossings.

7 8

Lesson 7-8: Sharing the Road and Traffic

Benburb Street carries real quayside traffic and this lesson puts you in the middle of it. Buses pulling from stops, cyclists filtering, and vans loading. You will practise mirror routine and maintaining position under pressure.

Test preparation
9 10

Lesson 9-10: Complex Junctions and Speed

The Arran Quay junction at the Four Courts is always congested and the lane markings require you to commit early. This lesson covers multi-lane reading, bus lane awareness, and the filter signals that can trip up learners who are not watching.

Lesson 11-12: Calm Driving and Night Conditions

Arbour Hill in the dark is a different experience. The steep gradient, parked cars, and unlit stretches require calm, early observations. Your final lessons focus on the controlled confidence that turns a prepared driver into a passing one.

Driving lessons in Oxmantown, from Blackhall Place to the quays

Blackhall Place is the spine of Oxmantown and it is where most lessons begin. Wide enough to give you space, busy enough at both ends to mean you cannot switch off. Your instructor will pick you up at Collins Barracks car park or the Museum Luas stop on Benburb Street.

Benburb Street is a quayside road that carries traffic fast between Heuston Station and the city centre. You will build up to it after the side streets off Blackhall Place have given you a solid foundation in positioning and gap judgement.

Manual lessons are €53.27 per hour, or €49 per lesson on the 12-pack. The 6-pack is €52.50 per lesson. Full EDT is €587.95. Automatic costs €61.41 single or €54.94 per lesson on the 12-pack. Pretest with car hire is €183.63 manual, €193.81 automatic.

Female instructors are available here. Your test centre is Finglas, about 16 minutes up through Stoneybatter and Manor Street. That route is in your EDT from early on.

The one-way systems around Smithfield and the Four Courts catch a lot of new drivers. Your instructor will explain the layout and make sure you know exactly where each road leads before you are on your own.

Ben OConnell
Ben took driving lessons with RSA School of Motoring. I did my 12 lessons with Richie and overall had a brilliant experience. My lessons took place around the Mulhuddart and Finglas areas to make sure I was comfortable with those test routes. I would highly recommend Richie as a driving instructor as throughout the 12 lessons he was always really relaxed which helped me to stay calm when I just started learning in particular.

Marco Vinicio Martinez Barriga
Marco took driving lessons with RSA School of Motoring. I took the 12 EDT Lessons package with Richard in the Finglas Area. He was always looking to help me improve my driving skills. He focuses on telling you were your weaknesses are so you can focus more on them and show him how much you have improved the next time you see him. Really enjoyed all the EDT lessons given by him. Highly recommend instructor.

If you are doing your test in Finglas, LOOK NO FURTHER than Alan who works for the RSA School of Motoring in Finglas. I met him last week and did a pretest with him and I passed my test with flying colours. He showed me absolutely EVERYTHING you need to know when it comes to a driving test - explanation of the grades, goes through the questions of signage/ secondary controls etc, and gives you many many MANY tips along the way. All feedback was extremely constructive, he made me feel very much at ease, built up my confidence and even spent an extra 20 minutes with me more than what I had paid! The man is an absolute gent who is absolutely EXCELLENT in his role of Driving Instructor and got me across the line! Top class, Thanks Alan!

Everything about the service I received from the RSA from the EDTs to my pre-tests, were carried out with the utmost professionalism. I completed my EDTs with Peter around the Finglas test routes. Peter really gave me a strong foundation with my driving experience/ practice. Peter then recommended Kevin for pre-tests around the Tallaght test routes. Kevin gave me amazing tips and advice when it came to my driving preparations. Everything about the service i received from the RSA was exceptional!
