Most Leighlinbridge learners start in a manual, and passing in one covers you for manual and automatic cars. The first lessons stay on quieter streets like Main Street. Once the clutch stops being the main event, we move out to High Street.

Automatic takes the clutch out of it, which helps on High Street at busy times. A test passed in an automatic gives a Code 78 licence, limited to automatic cars. Same instructor, same free pick-up in Leighlinbridge.
Book automatic lessons ↗Once you're matched, your lessons sit on our booking platform. You see what's next, move a lesson when you need to, and get a reminder before each one.
Before you sit the driving test you need all twelve EDT lessons, each one stamped in your logbook. Your Leighlinbridge instructor works through them in order, starting on Main Street and building up to High Street.
By the last few lessons you're driving the roads around the Carlow test centre, so the approach is familiar long before the day itself.
Once the EDT is done, it's on to test preparation. The nearest centre to Leighlinbridge is Carlow, 13.2 km and about 13 minutes by road. Pretest lessons run on the roads around it, and you sit the test in the car you practised in. If Kilkenny has an earlier date, we cover those routes too.
