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

Automatic takes the clutch out of it, which helps on Lucan 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 Palmerstown.

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 Palmerstown instructor works through them in order, starting on Old Lucan Road and building up to Lucan Road.
By the last few lessons you're driving the roads around the Mulhuddart test centre, so the approach is familiar long before the day itself.
