    Anyone got a suggestion for showing someone for first time how to move a car around?
    Somewhere wide open with no cars on a sunday?

    No cars on a Sunday? You'd want to be up early. The Crescent would be much better.

    National Technology Park. I work there and I often see learner drivers around there. Not as many roads as Raheen though.

    For a person that never sat behind a wheel before I'd give shopping centres a miss. I brought my daughter out to Plassey, let her drive in a straight line up and down on the same stretch if road, I did the turning for her, next time I let her turn, next time I had her driving around the estate a but, then did the UL circle. The road I started on was the road down to the indoor golf place.

    It's nearly a limerick tradition that one learns how to drive in raheen industrial estate at this stage. You have all the necessary road markings, signage and a roundabout to help you. You're only missing a set of traffic lights. Plenty of big empty car parks if you want to keep off the road too
