Car lessons for Carrickmines learners
All car lessons are in my manual, dual-control school car, at €45 an hour and booked as two-hour sessions. Carrickmines is a short drive from the Dún Laoghaire test centre, so as your test gets closer we can easily mix local lessons with practice on the test centre roads.
Pre-test lessons
Getting ready for your test at the Dún Laoghaire or Tallaght test centre.

Learning to drive around Carrickmines
Carrickmines is full of big roundabouts, multi-lane approaches and busy retail park traffic, with the M50 at junction 15 right beside it. Roundabouts are where a lot of learners get their lane choice and signals wrong, so this is a great place to get them right.
The newer estates around Cherrywood and Carrickmines are quiet and well laid out, which makes them good for practising reverse parking, turnabouts and the basics before we head onto the main roads.
Why people in Carrickmines need to drive
The Luas reaches Carrickmines and Cherrywood, but much of the area is built around the car, with the retail park, the M50 and business parks all easier to reach by road. A lot of my students here have just moved into the new developments and need a licence to make life work.
