Pop Quiz: Are you ready for the test
On your driving test, while doing your turnabout, must the manoeuvre be completed in three movements?
No it can be done in 3, 5 or 7 movements. The less the better. Most cars can do it in three depending on the size of the road and car.

So here is a little information on our approach.
What is Essential Driver Training?

You may not know but many years ago Ireland had one of the worst road accident records in Europe. In an effort to control these stats the Road Safety Authority implemented a new and compulsory training initiative for new 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.
In an attempt to reduce accidents and fill the evident driving skills gap that many new motorists were lacking, the 12 lesson syllabus was created.
That's the 'whats' and 'whys' of the EDT.
Pop Quiz: Are you ready for the test
When parked on the left, what should you do before moving off?
Check your rear and right mirrors, signal and look over you right shoulder to check you blind spot and look forward again before moving off.
The Driving Test: Essential preparation

First you must master the rules of the road, the road signs and skills involved to control a car safely. And then there is learning to pass the driving test. Being allowed to drive alone on Ballinaclash roads is a right you must earn and the driving test is your chance to do it. As with any exam you have ever had to sit, 80% of passing the driving test is accomplished long before the day of the test with right preparation.
If your test is booked there is a lot of unknowns and fears to contend with. Fear can distract even the most experienced of drivers. So it makes perfect sense that we have to shine a light in the dark, eliminate the unknowns and the fear. Which is precisely what our pretest driving lessons will do.
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.
We're not in the business of gambling on your success. We simulate for you all 4 stages of the test, teach you all the test routes and focus on the areas of your driving that are most likely to get you the most marks or fail you.
Using this method we get our student past the test in half the time it takes other driving school. Passing fast means you save money.

Pop Quiz: Are you ready for the test
Why is a stop sign or a yield sign so shaped?
If defaced or covered in any way, the driver recognises the shape.

Rachael Buggle - I passed my test!
I failed my test several times and had lost faith in my ability to actually pass the test. A friend suggested that I contact the School of Motoring for a new instructor. They suggested who specialized in aiding those who had not been successful. After a few lessons I was ready to sit my test again and passed it. I highly recommend this school and this instructor. I don't think I would have passed my test without their help.
