Manual driving lessons in Dún Laoghaire
Learn to Drive Any Car
Learning in a manual gives you a licence with no restrictions on it: pass in a manual car and you are entitled to drive both manual and automatic vehicles. Lessons cover clutch control, smooth gear changes and hill starts in a modern dual-control car, with an ADI approved instructor. They fit alongside your 12 EDT lessons, and if you would rather leave the gears out of it altogether, I also teach automatic driving lessons.
Why Choose Manual Lessons?
Drives Everything
A manual licence covers both manual and automatic cars, so you never need to sit a second test to change.
Real Car Control
Clutch control, smooth gear changes and hill starts, taught properly rather than rushed.
More Choice
Most used cars, vans and hire cars abroad are still manual, so your options stay open.
Driving Test Facts
Test Car and Licence Rules
Sit your test in a manual car and your licence carries no transmission restriction — unlike an automatic pass, which gives you an automatic-only licence. The full vehicle requirements are set out on my car hire for the driving test page.
EDT Applies Either Way
Essential Driver Training is the same 12 sessions whichever transmission you learn in, so choosing manual costs you nothing in lessons required. See EDT lessons for how the syllabus works.
