Astral Driving School is based in Limerick, Ireland on the beautiful and Majestic River Shannon. The City is undergoing an amazing transformation as the Second Stage of the Celtic Tiger Economy grows ever stronger. Similar growth is being experienced in all major Urban Areas throughout Ireland.
All of this means a phenomenal increase in the number of new vehicles on the roads throughout the country, a good proportion of which are piloted by Learner Drivers.
The Principal of the School is Robin Piggott, a Professional Driver with four decades of experience both in Ireland and in England. He has spent a lifetime behind the wheel of both Cars and Vans and behind the scenes making sure they all run smoothly. He actually started his Driving Career as a Van Driver for the well known Multi National Hygiene Services Company. Initial Services which is now owned by Rentokil an even more renowned company with hundreds of vehicles on the Roads of Europe. Prior to the Initial days Robin cut his teeth on Irish roads as a Partner in a Company supplying services all over Ireland and in two or three years built up an extensive knowledge of the road network and a level of skill that would have taken the average driver at least a decade!
Any Company with a Fleet of vehicles on the road every day of the year knows a thing or two about Motor Vehicles…Trucks; Vans and Company Cars of all shapes and sizes. Anyone involved in the Transport Department of such an Organisation, whether in the front line or behind the scenes pulling the strings and making sure all is well oiled, gets to know rather quickly the importance of Safe Driving principles and care of Vehicles and the need for strict maintenance procedures.
