Your EDT in Walkinstown: 12 lessons, real roads
Walkinstown Roundabout, Long Mile Road, Cromwellsfort Road. Every lesson counts toward your Tallaght test.
L1-2: Controls and Positioning
Your first two lessons start on Cromwellsfort Road where the traffic is light and the speed ramps give you a natural rhythm. You learn the cockpit checks, clutch biting point, and how to hold a straight line before anything else is added.
Learn about EDTL3-4: Direction Changes and Speed
Walkinstown Road from the shopping centre towards Crumlin introduces junctions, signalling, and matching your speed to conditions. You will practise left and right turns into side streets and learn when to give way.
EDT detailsL5-6: Complex Positioning and Hazards
Drimnagh Road is where this comes alive. Bus traffic, parked cars, and a school zone near the Drimnagh end test your positioning. Your instructor talks you through how to read the road ahead and hold your line when space tightens.
Test preparationL7-8: Sharing the Road and Traffic
Long Mile Road is the focus. Lorries pull out from industrial units, cars merge from slip roads, and the pace is faster than anything you have covered so far. You learn to use your mirrors constantly and commit to lane choices early.
Test preparationL9-10: Complex Junctions and Speed Control
Walkinstown Roundabout gets serious attention here. You work through all five exits in sequence, practising lane selection, signalling, and reading other drivers. The junction onto Long Mile Road from the Drimnagh Road side is also covered.

Long Mile Road is where Walkinstown learners earn their confidence. The dual carriageway runs past retail parks with heavy lorry traffic, slip roads, and fast lane changes that you will not get on a quiet estate. Your instructor picks you up from Walkinstown Green Shopping Centre or the bus stop on the 77A near the roundabout.
Walkinstown Roundabout is the centrepiece of lessons here. Five exits, multiple lanes, and traffic from Drimnagh, Crumlin, and Long Mile Road all at once. We cover it early and return to it throughout your lessons. By test day, it is routine.
Cromwellsfort Road connects Walkinstown to Greenhills and is ideal for early lessons. The speed ramps are good for clutch control and the light traffic lets you focus on basics without pressure building up behind you.
