Car lessons for Ballinteer learners
All car lessons are in my manual, dual-control school car, at €45 an hour and booked as two-hour sessions. From Ballinteer you can sit your test at either the Dún Laoghaire or the Tallaght test centre. Both are a reasonable drive, so we choose based on where you feel more comfortable and where you can get a date sooner.
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 Ballinteer
Ballinteer is close to my base, so it’s where a lot of my first lessons happen. The estates are quiet enough for moving off, junctions and manoeuvres, and Ballinteer Road, the roads around Marlay Park and the M50 at junction 13 give you busier traffic once you’re ready.
There are a fair few hills around Ballinteer and up towards the mountains, which is good for hill starts and clutch control, the two things most manual learners struggle with at the start.
Why Ballinteer learners need a car
Ballinteer has buses and the Luas at Balally on the far side, but most journeys across South Dublin still take far longer without a car. My students here are mostly school leavers, college students and parents.
