L 2 N Driving School

Fantastic experience: Very good driving instructor, doesn’t over complicate things, passed my test first time because of Peter.

Fantastic experience: From the first lesson with Peter I felt I was growing as a driver and my confidence was building as I went out on the road. A big thanks to Peter and L2N driving school. It was a great experience and he helped me to be as prepared as possible in advance of the driving test.

Fantastic experience: Massive thank you to Peter and L2N driving school. Passed my test first time thanks to the lessons from Peter! Professional and friendly service always

Fantastic experience: Thanks to Peter, I passed my driving test on my first attempt. Peter is very thorough with his approach, making sure you don’t miss anything and that you are well equipped for the test. He covers every single thing so you would never be surprised during the test and he wouldn’t advice you go for the test unless he believes you are ready, which I found very useful. It’s an expensive process so you wouldn’t want to repeat it. He also tries his best to accommodate everyone and their lesson time. I found Peter to be clear with his instructors. I'd recommend Peter to anyone who wants to pass on the first attempt!

Negative experience: Passed my test second attempt in manual transmission, but not thanks to this instructor. Peter relies on a lot of external sources and conditions in order to achieve his pass rates. The first example you will notice is that he will pull out the RSA handbook at the start of the lesson and start reading it word for word, and rather than explaining the material, will ask you, "Is that all clear?" In other words, he doesn't show you anything; he reads it off. He will then proceed to take you out on the road and demonstrate nothing that he read out in the handbook. It's mainly random. For example, in my second lesson with him, he read out a passage relating to hazards, but directed me aimlessly across Limerick, not encountering a single hazard to his reading. He could have brought me to an area prone to hazards (such as a pot hole, large body of water) but he did not. There are two issues with this first example: 1. It shows Peter is not confident in his abilities to approach pupils. He should understand that the booklet is only a guideline, not something to be strictly instructed on each pupil as a one-size-fits-all approach. The book was not designed for every learner driver. His job is to fill in that gap to apply it to each individual student, but he does not do this. 2. He effectively is not teaching you the material, and heavily relies on that line, "Is that all clear?" to cover himself. A student cannot possibly articulate what is being described in the material without being effectively shown. This is one of his major weaknesses as an instructor. The second example of him relying on external sources and conditions is his belief in outside practice. His teaching methods (if you can call reading a booklet 'teaching methods') boil down to what he likes to refer to as "driving one forward" where the real skill development comes from outside practice. This is a massive issue because not every student has access to another car. Any well-experienced driving instructor of good faith will tell you that it's their job to bring you up to testing standard, not outside help. This, combined with the point that he relies on the booklet, shows a lack of interest and due diligence as a driving instructor. -- GENERAL BEHAVIOUR -- The Vehicle Itself: Peter's vehicle is not well-maintained and tends to be unclean. His gearstick, especially, gathers a lot of bacteria and dross. The footbed beneath the car's pedals can sometimes contain wrappers, large portions of mud, and dust. While it is understandable that he cannot maintain perfect cleanliness all the time on a busy day, it is not understandable nor acceptable why he cannot take out foreign matter (such as wrappers) or give the gearstick a quick wipe. Peter's Personality: Generally, he is not a pleasant individual to deal with. He does not laugh, make small talk (aside from the odd time), smile, or give off a welcoming attitude. Similarly, he does tend to get emotional (angry) during drives, often relying on driving the car himself, raising his voice, or scoffing when his instructions are not understood. Oftentimes, his instructions are certainly unclear, such as advising to "turn right at the next junction" when he actually means the junction ahead of "the next". Such "mistakes" cause him to grab the real and get upset. This shows that Peter is unable to control his emotions during a drive, which is neither safe nor professional. He also sometimes gets angry at other road users, and has a little pedal that allows him to honk. This I actually found quite funny, but also strange that a supposedly mature adult would do such a thing. Similarly, to follow on from that point, he heavily relies on clutching and breaking rather than using his words to instruct. He won't tell you to clutch down if you forget, he will do it for you. Generally, I would not recommend this instructor. It seems his decades of experience have grown stale, and he has not learned anything, stamping his name on passes that were achieved by external means.

Fantastic experience: I couldn't have asked for a better instructor. Breaks things down simply and gives great advice. Prepares you completely for the test and if you're with him on the day of the test he prepares you well before you go in. My friends who've had him as an instructor in the past found him great as well. I passed the first time.

Fantastic experience: Peter is a fantastic instructor and I would 100% recommend him. Initially he comes across quiet but don't let that phase you. He is so patient, so calm, and so good at teaching one to drive. I passed my test first time with him and honestly I thought I'd never see the day I'd be driving roundabouts in Limerick city. Book Peter, you won't be sorry!

Negative experience: Not professional, how students pass their tests, god only knows. Instructor needs to teach pupils how to overtake cyclists safely.

Fantastic experience: Peter is a fantastic instructor! He was very thorough, professional and easy to work with. Each lesson I had with him was a great learning experience.

Positive experience: Peter was great help while I was getting used to the Irish road system and preparing for my test. I drove in the US for over a decade, but Peter really helped me feel comfortable and confident driving around Limerick. I passed my test the first time and that's largely due to his help. If you need a driving instructor in Limerick give him a call!

Fantastic experience: The best Instructor around, honestly wouldn't waste my time going to anyone else, they rip you off with extortionate prices and Peter just knows his stuff. They email you loads of info b4 your test aswell. Very patient and he gives you the confidence in yourself unlike other instructors. Highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Peter is an amazing Instructor. Driving for me was like an insurmountable hurdle, I was literally phobic, and thought I would never ever get on the road. Peter assured me I would, at our first meeting, and what's more, I would also pass my test!! and guess what....I just did. Peter was so patient and encouraging and an all around amazing Teacher. Can't thank him enough. I cannot recommend Peter enough.

Fantastic experience: Peter is an excellent instructor. When I first met him, I was a very inexperienced driver, but he was very easy to work with, explained everything really well, and pushed me so that every lesson was productive. Working with Peter prepared me really well for my test, and I passed straight away. I enjoyed all of my lessons, and I would highly recommend Peter to anyone learning to drive.

Fantastic experience: I was looking for an ADI for a very long time in Limerick and eventually stopped at this school. The instructor explained everything well and clearly. There are a large selection of prices, programs (including cars with automatic transmission). The exam passed the first time.
