12 EDT lessons built for Terenure Cross and the Tallaght route
Lessons on Bushy Park Road, Rathfarnham Road, and Fortfield Road. All roads your Tallaght test will use.
L1-2: Controls and Positioning
Bushy Park Road is where the first lessons happen. Light traffic, gentle bends, and easy pullover spots make it the best road in Terenure for cockpit drill, steering practice, and getting comfortable with the car before tackling the Cross.
Learn about EDTL3-4: Direction Changes and Speed
Fortfield Road runs east through the Kimmage estates with regular speed ramps and T-junctions where walls block your sightlines. Lessons three and four use this road to teach you to creep, peek, and commit at junctions with restricted visibility.
EDT detailsL5-6: Complex Positioning and Hazards
Templeogue Road between Terenure and Templeogue Village carries residential traffic with speed ramps, school zones, and side roads entering from both sides. Lessons five and six develop your hazard awareness on a road that is busy without being overwhelming.
Test preparationL7-8: Sharing the Road and Traffic
Rathfarnham Road heading south brings bus lanes and a cycle lane into the mix. Lessons seven and eight teach you the mirror checks and lane positioning needed when there are three distinct lanes and school traffic peaking on either side of the road.
Test preparationL9-10: Complex Junctions and Speed Management
Terenure Cross is the focus across lessons nine and ten. Four roads, traffic lights with multiple phases, bus stops just beyond the junction, and pedestrian crossings all demanding attention at once. Your instructor approaches from every arm of the junction until your timing is clean.
View optionsL11-12: Calm Driving and Night Conditions
The Terenure Road north towards Rathmines and the run south on Rathfarnham Road both feature in the final lessons. Night and low-light awareness on these commuter routes, and the full run to Tallaght Test Centre, close out your twelve EDT lessons.
