WHY WE SAY WE ARE THE Preferred DRIVING SCHOOL IN Baltinglass
In all our years teaching we have never seen a perfect driver because one doesn't exist. Being safe and confident is all you need to aim for. So you get the most out of each lesson we've trained all our instructors on how to quickly profile you so that you work on the areas of your driving that need the most work.
We have always maintained a focus on a want to give our students more. To help our students with this we have built our own training course to study between lessons to help reinforce what you learn in the car.
You will develop your understanding of driving up to 3 times faster with the aid of our home study material. Our course walks you through the Essential Driver Training syllabus and helps with aspects of your driving like right and left turns giving you a better theoretical understanding of what safe driving really is. No other Baltinglass driving school offers such a comprehensive service as this.
Pop Quiz: Are you ready for the test

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.
About Baltinglass
Baltinglass, historically known as Baltinglas, is a town in south-west County Wicklow, Ireland. It is located on the River Slaney near the border with County Carlow and County Kildare, on the N81 road. Baltinglass reference
Let us start there.
Essential Driver Training: What is it?

It is an depressing fact that Ireland is among the worst countries in Europe for road deaths and accidents. To help reduce these stats 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.
That's the 'whats' and 'whys' of the EDT.
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.
Getting ready for the Test in Baltinglass

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. The test is your chance to show that you are safe enough to drive unaccompanied. Like any exam you have ever had to sit, 80% of passing the driving test is achieved long before the day of the test with correct preparation.
If you have to prepare for the driving test then your head is probably a wash with different emotions. Fear of failing, fear of nerves getting the better of you or just fear of the unknown. Well fear not.
Most driving instructors will 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. And they do this because they do not truly understand the driving test, how you will be graded or what areas of your driving will cause you to fail. Luckily this is not how we operate. 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. Our pretest training fully simulates the 4 different stages of the driving test and fully prepares you for the way the tester will talk to you and how they mark the test sheet.
When we share this knowledge and understanding with our students it is like giving them all the answers to an exam before they even know the questions. Which is why so many of our student pass first time. That means less lessons and less expense to you.

I just passed my driving test and i wouldn't have been able to do it without my instructor at rsa. He was amazing help and was extremely patient with me.
