Tullyallen junctions: what learners work on
The N51 junction at the village
Where the N51 Slane road meets the village street on the western edge of the Drogheda approach. The T junction is the kind of feature where observation tends to slip if a learner hasn't worked it before.
We run this junction in the EDT lessons before the pretest, so by test day it's a repeat. Most Tullyallen learners build their confidence here on the way in and out of Drogheda.

Just passed my test with the help of Will Rooney. I definitely wouldn’t have made it through it without him, he is an expert in driving tests and helped me immensely. Highly recommend William and the RSA School of Motoring.

Driving lessons in Tullyallen: frequently asked questions
How much do Tullyallen driving lessons cost?
Manual lessons in Tullyallen are €53.27 each. The full 12-lesson EDT works out at €587.95 (the lowest per-hour rate on the list). Automatic is €61.41 per lesson, €659.24 for twelve. Full price list.
Where do EDT lessons in Tullyallen go?
The N51 Slane road junction at the village, on the western edge of the Drogheda approach, is on every Tullyallen lesson. The R168 link road north toward Mellifont and the Battle of the Boyne site, plus the narrow village street past the church and the GAA pitch, are normal stretches. EDT detail.
Is automatic available for Tullyallen lessons?
Yes. The Drogheda automatic instructor runs the N51 out to Tullyallen in ten minutes. €61.41 per hour, €659.24 for the 12-pack. Same N51 junction, either gearbox. Automatic detail.
Could a female instructor cover Tullyallen?
Often. Tullyallen is ten minutes from the Drogheda depot, so the female-instructor rota usually carries weekday and Saturday slots. Note your preference on the contact form when you book.
Is the Tullyallen pick-up free?
Yes. The N51 trip out from Drogheda is on the school's clock. The hour starts outside your house in the village, not when the dual-controlled car leaves the depot. The short run down the Slane road doesn't come off your time.
How long is the drive from Tullyallen to the Drogheda test centre?
About ten minutes, six kilometres back down the N51. Pretest lessons rehearse that morning route, so the test-day drive into the Donore Road is one you've already driven the lesson before.
Will lessons cover the road north toward Mellifont?
Yes. The R168 turn off the village toward Mellifont Abbey and the Boyne valley is a three-out-of-five for signal-discipline. We loop it both ways during early lessons with the indicate-and-position routine called out, until the lane choice is automatic.
