The Sligo angle
Why learn automatic in Sligo
Sligo is the N4, the Hyde Bridge and the Atlantic bends.
Sligo is a small city wrapped around the Garavogue. The Hyde Bridge backs up at peak from both sides. The N4 sliproad heads east to Boyle and Dublin. The N16 climbs out toward Manorhamilton and Donegal. Strandhill brings tourist traffic in summer. The test uses the city loop and the dual-carriageway both.
N4 sliproad merge
Sligo routes use the N4 sliproad with traffic at 100. Automatic gives you the gear; you read the gap.
Hyde Bridge stop-start
Hyde Bridge backs up morning and evening. Automatic creeps with the gap; your eyes stay on the cyclist on the inside.
Strandhill coast road
Strandhill lessons run the coast road with bend after bend. Automatic carries the speed and the line; one fewer fault on the way back.

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
