Driving Instructor in North Dublin?

xeroshero

Hi,

(Tried to post this yesterday, didn't work?)

Can anyone recommend a good driving instructor in North Dublin please? Ive been driving for about 6 weeks, having been thought by my Dad and my neighbour has "accompanied" in the last couple fo weeks too... I will be moving to Wicklow (from Dublin) and need to TRY pass the test before July... (maybe wishful thinking but... worth a try!)

So, any, I now want to get some proper lessons, now that I have the basics, so no need to "waste" time with learning about the clutch etc... So anyway, anyone out there got the name/number of a tried and tested instructoe please?

Thanks for the reply.... I had a look befor eposting but Im looking for popele who can actually recommend a specfic instructor as opposed to schools? I saw a thread here beforte for a guy who lives fairly near, an e-mail address was giving, Gavin@ism.ie or something like that, Itried to e-mail that but it bounced back....

Also, one other question (sorry) I have my own car, how does that work regards lessons? Will the instructor come to my house, go out in my car and then return with me to my house? Sorry, may seem like a stupid Q but its all new to me! Also, I presume lessons are the same price regardless of using their car or your own car?

Cool, I tried finding that thread you were talking about but couldn't seem to find it.
As for your second question, generally your instructor will call to your house and end the lesson at your house. As for driving your car, i'd say the first time out with a new instructor would be in their car with dual controls, just so they can figure out what level you're at, if they feel you're safe they'll let you drive your own car come the next lesson. And yes there was never any price difference for using my car Vs their car, unless they're real misers!
And don't be afraid to post back, that's what this board is for!
Cheers
Alan.
