Car lessons for Foxrock learners
All car lessons are in my manual, dual-control school car, at €45 an hour and booked as two-hour sessions. Foxrock is right beside Kill of the Grange, where the Dún Laoghaire test centre is. That’s a real advantage. We can practise on the same roads that lead out of the test centre without long drives to get there.
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 Foxrock
Foxrock is mostly quiet residential roads, which makes it a good place for first lessons: moving off, stopping, mirrors, junctions and your manoeuvres. From there it’s a short drive to the N11, the roundabouts around Deansgrange and Cabinteely, and the busier roads near Leopardstown Racecourse.
Some of the roads here are narrow with parked cars on both sides, so you learn early how to judge gaps, when to wait and when to go. Examiners look for that kind of judgement, and it’s easier to learn on roads you know.
You really need a car in Foxrock
Foxrock has no Luas in the village and the buses mostly run along the N11, so getting to work, the shops or school without a car is hard work. That’s why so many families here want everyone in the house driving, and why a lot of my Foxrock students are school leavers and young adults.
