Another one passes the test. Well done niamh lalor
Passed first time! I just want to say a big thank you to my driving instructor and the RSA School of Motoring for helping me pass successfully on my first attempted... Was an amazing instructor who showed me how I should drive and spent a lot of time refining my techniques to the level required to pass. He also worked on making me a confident and calm driver which was a big advantage on the day of my test...I heard of the RSA School of Motoring through a work colleague who said they were extremely good and helped her pass successfully. I'm so glad she recommend them and I would definitely recommend them to anyone learning to drive. I can now say I feel confident enough to drive anywhere on my own :)
RSA School of Motoring have the precise track record of student success we have been talking about and we have the verified testimonials to show it. So if you need driving lessons you would be getting a head start choosing us. Read on to find out why.
More than likely you fall into one of two categories. You need to complete or start your 12 EDT driving lessons. Or you need to start your driving test preparation.
Let us start there.
What is Essential Driver Training?
EDT Driving Lessons Rathcabbin
You may not know but many years ago Ireland had one of the worst road accident records in Europe. In an effort to reduce these stats the Road Safety Authority introduced a new and compulsory training initiative for first time drivers. The Essential Driver Training or EDT.
The EDT syllabus requires that 12 structured driving lessons have to be completed, stamped and uploaded to the RSA website by a registered ADI.
This 12 lesson syllabus has been designed to ensure young drivers practice vital driving skills and develop a more comprehensive understanding of road safety.
That's the 'whats' and 'whys' of the EDT.
Preparing for the Driving Test in Rathcabbin
Pretest Driving Lessons Rathcabbin
There is learning the vital driving skills and developing your knowledge of road signs and road safety. And then there is learning to pass the driving test. The test is your chance to show that you are safe enough to drive unaccompanied. 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 correct preparation.
If you haven't done any preparation for your driving test the your are in the dark and being in the dark can cause a lot of fears to rise up. Fear can distract even the most experienced of drivers. So it makes perfect sense that we have to shine a light in the dark, eliminate the unknowns and the fear. Which is precisely what our pretest driving lessons will do.
Our tried and tested pretest training packages have been developed to specifically help you overcome your nerves and come out with a deep understanding on what will happen 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.
