Hi guys, I booked my driving test today for May 26th in the Togher Industrial Estate near Naas. Can anyone advise me of the route?
I went for a pre-test in Naas the other day with the Naas School of Motoring, however this was at another testing office/route (there are 3 in Naas). He said I was far too nervous under pressure and needed to get used to driving in silence, preferably with someone sitting quietly beside me, and in unfamiliar areas, as otherwise it will affect my driving on the day. I usually only drive in areas I know very well, on my own with music on. He also said I needed to work on my mirror-signal-manouever as I wasn't doing it enough, that I coast too much and change gears too much, and need to practice my 3 point turn (which I have been doing).
Apart from this, he said I would be more than capable of passing if I can get rid of my bad habits. He said it isn't an issue that I am nervous of driving- I am well able to hop into the car and off I go- but he said I need to be able to drive when I am not in my comfort zone.
I have another pre-test on Saturday- this time with a different instructor (First Class School of Motoring)- this guy is based at the centre I will be tested at. Can anyone advise me- how soon is too soon to start getting more lessons? How close together should I get them, or should I get them close together? I have the day of the test booked off work and will have a pre-test in the morning.
Foxy Lady - I noticed from a previous post that you did your test in Finglas SGS. I have mine there in two weeks time. What was the tester like? Were there any tricky parts on the test route? Any unusual questions? Any tips?
Thanks
Tester was very nice, but probably strict enough. All i would say is definitely do a pretest. Give yourself plenty of time to get there if your not familiar with the area, make sure u keep checking your mirrors at all times and know underneath the bonnet as well
Guys, what exactly are they expecting you to know under the bonnet, water, oil, anything else ?
Thanks
If I pass my test said:They will take the necessary items and payment from you and post out ur full licence to you.. Thats how mine was done in naas anyway, unless its changed!!
Good Luck!!!
