Rathmichael Road to Old Connaught Avenue to the Dublin Road. Structured EDT that prepares you for Dun Laoghaire/Deansgrange test centre.
L1-2: Controls and Positioning
Rathmichael Road has no markings and no footpaths in places. From the very first lesson you are learning to position the car by feel and judgement, not by following a white line.
Learn about EDTL3-4: Direction and Speed
Ferndale Road through the estate introduces speed ramps and junction choices. You learn to read ahead and pick the right speed for a road that changes character every hundred metres.
EDT detailsL5-6: Complex Positioning and Hazards
Old Connaught Avenue mixes local traffic with through drivers heading for the N11. You practise positioning around parked cars and driveways while keeping an eye on the faster traffic joining from side roads.
Test preparationL7-8: Sharing Road and Traffic
The Dublin Road (R119) carries steady two-way traffic with limited footpaths. Sharing the road here means giving cyclists and pedestrians the room they need on a road that was not built for them.
Test preparationL9-10: Complex Junctions and Speed
Ballybride Road is single-track in parts with passing bays. Choosing when to hold position and when to pull in for oncoming traffic is a judgement call that this road forces you to make again and again.
View optionsL11-12: Calm Driving and Night
Rathmichael Road after dark is a different road entirely. No street lighting means you rely on dipped headlights and a slow approach to every bend, building the calm and careful habit that lasts well beyond test day.

Rathmichael Road is where your instructor meets you. A small pull-in near the old church ruins gives a quiet start before you head south on a lane that has no centre line and hedges on both sides.
Blind bends are the main feature here. You learn to read the road ahead, slow before corners, and hold your position well to the left in case something comes the other way. These habits stick because you practise them constantly on every Rathmichael Road lesson.
Ferndale Road adds estate junctions and driveways to the mix. Old Connaught Avenue opens it up and connects to the main road towards Shankill. The jump from a quiet country lane to the Dublin Road (R119) is a skill in itself, and we practise it until the speed change feels natural.
Female instructors are available. We collect you at the church ruins, Old Connaught Village, or the Dublin Bus stop on the Dublin Road. Manual from €53.27 single or €49 per lesson in a 12-pack. Auto from €61.41. EDT €587.95 manual, €659.24 auto. Pretest €183.63 manual, €193.81 auto with car hire.
Your test is at Dun Laoghaire/Deansgrange test centre on Pottery Road, about fifteen minutes away.
