Driving Test (1 Viewer)

[Jim Daniels]

dont have a car so i used a testers, but i had been getting lessons in it for weeks so was well used to it. just checked online and rathgar has a 40% pass rate, the lowest in the country.

Hard luck Froog, its an awful feeling. Second time around is much easier. Its all about perception and how confident and relaxed you seem. I took 3 days off work before my second test and drove constantly every day. I think that got me through it. Good luck next time. Apply straight away

Anyone have the number of a good driving instructor familiar with the Raheny test route? My driving instructor is very nice but only familiar with southside ones.
Got me test this day week

ooh cheers for that. will look him up. Am crapping it and some mad warning light on in car. I have no idea why I picked Raheny. If i'm not on again to brag this time next week, you 'll find me wallowing in the nearest pub. Good luck with your test!

Thanks for all recommendations. I totally recommend Colin in Colliers as well.
was reversing round the corner retarded and he explained it in such a way that,
two three practises before I got it spot on just before the test. One mark away
from failing. Can't I reckon constant worried expression and cursing under
breath may have made tester go easy on me. I did suck!

Sarah - sounds like you passed - congrats!

Doing my theory on Monday? IS it hard?

Being going thru the book - mine's only 2nd edition and they emailed me to be careful of using outdated books. have they changed that much or do they just want me to buy a new one..

I'll play a bit of GTA to get me in the mood...

theory test is mostly common sense. Swot up on braking distances.

i passed the theory test drunk.

Yeah that and tire thread stuff is what i heard...

We're still driving on the left or has that changed since Theory Book 2.0 and the Lisbon Threaty?

 

[nlgbbbblth]

still on the left !

think the pass mark in the theory test is 35/40. Someone sitting it in the same centre as me got 22/40. Crying afterwards.

Do they tell you immediatelly?

There's a little supplement you can buy to go with the old text books. Just make sure all the speeds are in kms and you should be fine.
Tell tell you your result as soon as you leave the test room. Bastard told me I failed then "haha, course you didn't, the look on your face"
Good luck.

 

[sarah]

You'll be in and out of there in less than 5 mins. Once you've looked at
questions a couple of times you'll be totally grand.

I got 34 the first time and 35 the second :-( it's not as easy as peeps think. there are a few tricky questions. Definitely get the latest book, that's how i failed the first time by using the old buke. I know a few who failed first time but won't ever admit it!

 

[MDR]

Get the new book - I barely passed by getting 35 using the old book (I didn't know there was anew book) and was really lucky to do so.
