"Karl is an excellent driving instructor. He’s relaxed and laid back and put me at ease right away. His feedback was always on-point and easy to follow. I booked Karl for all my 12 lessons and for a few refresher lessons before the test date. I passed my test today on my first attempt. I highly reccomend Karl for lessons !"

Why the Dun Laoghaire test routes matter?
Knowing the test routes gives you a serious advantage.
We cover the exact roads and junctions used by the examiners. That includes:
- Narrow turns near Bakers Corner
- Roundabouts by Glenageary and Monkstown
- Busy stretches of Newtownpark Avenue and Tivoli Road
- Trickier traffic-light junctions and hill starts in local residential areas
When you’ve practiced these routes in advance, your test feels like just another drive.
