Manual driving lessons Cabra
Most Cabra learners start in a manual, and passing in one covers you for manual and automatic cars. The first lessons stay on quieter streets like the quieter estate roads. Once the clutch stops being the main event, we move out to the main roads into town.

Automatic driving lessons Cabra
Automatic takes the clutch out of it, which helps on the main roads into town 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 Cabra.

An RSA guide to the EDT
Before you sit the driving test you need all twelve EDT lessons, each one stamped in your logbook. Your Cabra instructor works through them in order, starting on the quieter estate roads and building up to the main roads into town.
By the last few lessons you're driving the roads around the Finglas test centre, so the approach is familiar long before the day itself.
Get ready to pass your Cabra driving test
Once the EDT is done, it's on to test preparation. The nearest centre to Cabra is Finglas, 5 km and about 9 minutes by road. Pretest lessons run on the roads around it, and you sit the test in the car you practised in. If Mulhuddart has an earlier date, we cover those routes too.
