Car lessons for Stepaside learners
All car lessons are in my manual, dual-control school car, at €45 an hour and booked as two-hour sessions. Stepaside is a growing area full of new estates, and a lot of the people moving in need a licence quickly. We start close to home and work towards the Dún Laoghaire test centre routes, which are the nearest to Stepaside.
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 Stepaside
Stepaside gives you a bit of everything. The village sits on the Enniskerry Road, which is narrow and winding in places, with hills, bends and parked cars. Then you have the newer estates around Kilgobbin and Ballyogan, the big roundabouts, and the M50 at junction 15 down the road.
Hill starts, bends and narrow roads are where a lot of learners lose confidence, so we practise them properly here. If you can drive the Enniskerry Road calmly, you’ll handle most of what a test route throws at you.
Why Stepaside learners want to pass quickly
The Luas stops at Ballyogan Wood and The Gallops help if you’re heading into town, but going anywhere else from Stepaside without a car is slow, and the roads up towards Kilternan and Glencullen have very little public transport at all. Most of my students here need to drive for work, childcare or college.

“I had great experience with Vlastik as my EDT instructor. He was very professional, patient and very clear with the teaching which gave me more confidence in the road. I would definitely recommend him to anyone learning to drive.”
