What is Essential Driver Training?
EDT Driving Lessons Allenwood
You may not know but many years ago Ireland had one of the worst road accident records in Europe. To help control these statistics the Road Safety Authority implemented a new and compulsory training initiative for first time drivers. The Essential Driver Training or EDT.
The EDT consists of 12 compulsory lessons that must be delivered by a RSA approved driving instructor to all learner drivers.
This 12 lesson syllabus has been designed to ensure young drivers practice vital driving skills and develop a more comprehensive understanding of road safety.

The Test: Crucial preparation
Pretest Driving Lessons Allenwood
Training to pass the driving test is completely different from learning to drive. You should already have the vital driving skills and road safety knowledge before applying for the test. Pretest training is about understanding the driving test itself and how you can beat it.
If the thoughts of sitting the driving test are overwhelming you then you are not the first to feel like this. Fear of failing, fear of nerves getting the better of you or just fear of the unknown. The good news is you don't need to worry any more.
It is standard practice by many driving instructors to keep giving you lessons until they 'think' you are ready. Often they will send you to do the test not really knowing if you will pass or not. That is because of a total lack of understanding on how the tester thinks and marks you during the test. This is not how we do things. All our instructors have been trained by ex-testers so they fully understand the driving tester and what they are looking for from you on test day.
Complete your pretest training with is and not only will you understand all four stages of the driving test, you'll know the potential test routes you may be brought on and you'll know precisely how the tester will talk to you and what they specifically want you to demonstrate.

Can I Hire Your Car For The Test?
Did you know that 10% of all tests stop before they even begin because learners turn up with a vehicle that isn't roadworthy. Turn up in a vehicle that doesn't have all lights and safety features working, or have up to date tax and insurance then you fail the test before it has even begun. Let us guarantee that your driving test will start the way it should by hiring one of our dual controlled driving school cars. We have some great Allenwood Pretest Car Hire Bundles so go check them out.
