We now have helped hundreds of learners pass the driving test so before you carry on your search we encourage you to consider RSA School of Motoring for your driving lessons in Kanturk. Let us explain to you why.

Let us start there.
Essential Driver Training: The history?
EDT Driving Lessons Kanturk
As part of an initiative to improve the poor statistics of young drivers getting killed or injured on our roads the Road Safety Authority introduced the EDT.
The EDT consists of 12 compulsory lessons that must be delivered by a RSA approved driving instructor to all learner drivers.
This 12 lesson syllabus has been designed to ensure young drivers practice vital driving skills and develop a more comprehensive understanding of road safety.

The Driving Test: Essential preparation
Pretest Driving Lessons Kanturk
First you must master the rules of the road, the road signs and skills involved to control a car safely. And then there is learning to pass the driving test. Being allowed to drive alone on Kanturk roads is a freedom you must earn and the driving test is your chance to do it. As with any exam you have ever had to sit, 80% of passing the driving test is accomplished long before the day of the test with right preparation.
If the thoughts of sitting the driving test are overwhelming you then you are not the first to feel like this. Fear of failing, fear of nerves getting the better of you or just fear of the unknown. Well fear not.
It is standard practice by many driving instructors to keep giving you lessons until they 'think' you are ready. They 'think' you are ready but they do not really 'know'. That is because of a total lack of understanding on how the tester thinks and marks you during the test. This is not how we do things. All our instructors have been trained by ex-testers so they fully understand the driving tester and what they are looking for from you on test day.
By the end you’ll understand fully the four stages of the test and understand exactly what the driving tester is looking for from you, how they will speak to you on the day and why and when the tester will mark the sheet.
