Manual driving lessons Dun Laoghaire
Most Dun Laoghaire learners start in a manual, and passing in one covers you for manual and automatic cars. The first lessons stay on quieter streets like Patrick Street. Once the clutch stops being the main event, we move out to Crofton Road.

Automatic takes the clutch out of it, which helps on Crofton Road 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 Dun Laoghaire.

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 Dun Laoghaire instructor works through them in order, starting on Patrick Street and building up to Crofton Road.
By the last few lessons you're driving the roads around the Deansgrange test centre, so the approach is familiar long before the day itself.
