Car lessons for Blackrock learners
All car lessons are in my manual, dual-control school car, at €45 an hour and booked as two-hour sessions. Blackrock learners usually sit their test at the Dún Laoghaire test centre in Kill of the Grange. It’s close enough that we can mix lessons around Blackrock with practice on the test centre roads.
Pre-test lessons
Getting ready for your test at the Dún Laoghaire or Tallaght test centre.
Pre-test lessonsPickup: free within about 10 minutes’ drive of the test centres in Tallaght, Dún Laoghaire, Naas and Carlow. If you live farther away, send me your location on WhatsApp and I’ll tell you the cost before you book.
Learning to drive around Blackrock
Blackrock is busy for its size. The Rock Road and the N31 carry a lot of traffic and buses, the village has pedestrian crossings, cyclists and tight parking, and the roads up to Newtownpark Avenue and Stradbrook give you plenty of junctions and roundabouts to practise.
It’s a good area for learning observation, because so much is going on at once. We take it step by step, starting on quieter roads in Monkstown and Booterstown before moving to the main roads at busier times.
Why learners in Blackrock still want a car
The DART is handy along the coast, but going inland from Blackrock, to Sandyford, Dundrum or the M50, is slow by public transport. A lot of my students here are students, young professionals and parents who want to stop relying on taxis and lifts.
