Driving test centres in Louth

Twenty-two towns, two test centres, and the Cooley peninsula sitting on its own off the east coast.

Coastal east-coast county with the Cooley Peninsula and Slieve Foye rising in the north-east, the Boyne valley flattening out to the south, and rolling farmland and dual-carriageway commuter belt running between Drogheda and Dundalk.

The Drogheda test centre sits on the Donore Road on the south side of town, near the southern approach roads off the N1 corridor. The Dundalk centre sits off the Carrickmacross Road on the western edge of town, near the Carrickmacross approach.

Passed first time

Passed my driving test first time thanks to William! I had multiple learners permits and never had the confidence to book a test until getting lessons from William. He was always kind, gave positive feedback and was encouraging.

Good for anxious drivers

Had a great experience here with my instructor Kieran, shared very helpful resources and great communication over the 12 lessons. Would recommend for anxious drivers.
