The Kilkenny angle
Why learn automatic in Kilkenny
Kilkenny driving is the dual-carriageway and the medieval one-way.
Kilkenny is a small city wrapped around a castle and a county that drives on the bypass. The High Street and Parliament Street form a tight one-way grid with bus traffic and pedestrians. The Castlecomer Road carries commuters in. The Waterford Road carries them out. Most learners drive on quiet estates; the test uses the bypass.
dual-carriageway approach pickup
Kilkenny routes use the dual-carriageway approach with traffic at 100. Automatic gives you the gear; you read the gap.
Town one-way grid
High Street and John Street are tight one-ways with bus stops and cyclists. Automatic creeps with the flow while you watch the cyclist.
Castlecomer Road school zone
Castlecomer Road has the school-run pinch where the speed limit drops. Automatic keeps your eyes on the kid, not the gear lever.

Automatic driving lesson reviews
Real learners. Real instructors. Passed in an automatic.
I passed my driving test on the first attempt with Jonathan Martinez in an automatic, and I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking to build their confidence behind the wheel. As a nervous and inexperienced driver without my own car, I had tried lessons with other instructors and schools.but Jonathan and were by far the best fit. Their booking system was the easiest to use, and the lessons were structured, supportive, and tailored to my pace. It's clear that Jonathan genuinely cares about helping learners become safe, confident drivers.not just passing a test. His calm, encouraging approach made all the difference. My lessons were between Dublin 12, Tallaght, and finally in Dun Laoghaire.Passed test
I recently completed additional driving lessons with Derek Verso to boost my skills and confidence beyond the 12 EDT lessons, before my test (passed at first attempt - automatic). It was a truly positive experience. Derek was patient and really helpful in identifying areas for improvement. Scheduling was easy, and Derek was always reliable and communicative (thanks Derek!) Previously, I also completed my 12 EDT lessons at with John McCabe, which was equally positive. Would highly recommend both instructors!EDT
I had the pleasure of getting automatic driving lessons with Steve and passed my test today. He's a great teacher and a lovely guy to spend the lessons with.Passed test
