About SMDS

adi

South Meath Driving School is owned and directed by Louis Moran an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI)  under the terms and standards set down by the Irish Road Safety Authority in 2007.  We specialise in Class B, which is cars/ jeeps with a seating capacity for up to 8 passengers (with a maximum weight of 3,500kg incl trailer.)

Initially, Louis trained as an instructor with the Quinn Driving School and otherwise underwent an exacting three week driving course at the Garda College driving school in Templemore. While that leaves him fully acquainted with the ‘advanced’ aspects of driving and driving instruction, it also leaves him very conscious of the qualities required for what is termed ‘defensive driving’ which will become the framework for YOU, the learner driver. We see those qualities manifest themselves in SAFETY, EFFICIENCY, THOUGHTFULNESS and PATIENCE

We will train you to drive for life, not just to pass a driving test. Our aim is to let you enjoy each progressive lesson and ultimately make you a skilful driver who will help make our roads a safer place and for you to feel worthy to be the holder of a full Driving Licence.
