Pre-Test Driving Lesson

It is highly recommended that you take a pre-test lesson before taking your driving test. Your chances of passing greatly improve as the lesson is designed around what instructors will be looking out for. Also you will perform this lesson on the driving test route of the specific testing centre you are booked for (Rathgar, Tallaght, Finglas or Raheny) Many people who pass their test claim the pre-test lesson was the deciding factor. Price is 40 euro

Top Tip: Here at DriveWell.ie we suggest you book a pre-test lesson on the day of your actual test if time allows.
