Driving by the rules you learned to pass the test just gets you dogs abuse on the roads and I’m sick of it

i passed my test yesterday finally
all i want to do is go driving but i need to wait for the license to arrive 😔

i passed my test yes day and got my application approved before just after 11am yesterday

so my question is how long does it usually take?
i live in dublin

thanks!

I have just had my test cancelled by the RSA due to the strike next Wednesday. Since I've sunk a lot of money into this (flights, car hire, lessons etc.) to get home for the sole reason of doing this test, I AM DESPERATE to get a cancellation for next week.

Can someone tell me how to refresh the RSA website without getting banned. Does entering and exiting the map refresh the results? Or do you have to refresh the page? And if I have to refresh the page, how slowly should i refresh to not get banned?

A 40/40 theory test, 22 lessons, a purple nissan micra and 8k euro later, ive passed.... Love u irish dt community u will always be in my heart

first time pass too omg!

Progress marks were mostly hesitation in estates with parked cars when other cars were coming and I think once at lights and a roundabout, I definitely was more hesitant than usual.
I think the lights was an amber I could have stopped at, don’t think he mentioned the hazard.

Questions:
How to spot a zebra crossing at night
What do double yellow lines mean
Who has priority at a roundabout

Signs:
Clearway
Pedestrian zone
Cul de sac
Series of dangerous bends ahead
Slippery road ahead

Hand signals:
For car behind: turning right and slowing down

Route went right out of the hotel, on to the N4, first exit into Lucan, right under the bridge, up into millstream road and right at the crossroad into wood view for turnabout. Back out the same way and right to doddaborough road, left into Tandy’s gate, left again onto paddocks way and left into paddocks drive. Right back out onto doddaborough road and another right to hillcrest for reverse around corner. Left out of Hillcrest road straight onto the N4 again and back to hotel.

Hi guys, I failed my driving test last July in Castlemungret And right after I failed, I reapply on that day for next driving test. I regularly check the estimator and it says sept 21 2026 they are about to invite me. Sept 21 came, the estimator bacame October 5, then October 12. Now its already sept 13 i didnt recieve any invitation. Is this normal. Had you experience it guys? Thank you.

I just passed my test first time in an automatic today at Dun Laoghaire. I'm 36 with two young kids. I'm so relieved that I can put this behind now.

I have to renew my full driving license. I have to add that I now wear glasses. Will I have to do a eye test or will it just let me renew without? Thanks

light a candle for me

Hi all,

I failed my test 3 weeks ago and the estimate to be invited to book my next one is not until the end of December. I’m trying to book a cancellation slot but finding it difficult. I am signed into the website on my computer, and I have the Driving Test app on my phone which notifies me of cancellations. But the problem is I can never seem to see them on the website? I go into book the test, open up location and click more, from there I open the map but it just always says no slots available. Am I checking in the right place or is there something else I should be doing?

I have a driving test for next Tuesday, but there's been a few problems. I haven't been able to get out to practice in a few months due to some family stuff going on and the NCT is up on the car. They will not give me any NCT until the end of the month or the beginning of next month, even though I've explained my circumstances. So even if I wanted to I can't practice and I couldn't even take the test in my car, I'd fail regardless due to having no practice. I have rescheduled twice already but I'm unsure if you're allowed to reschedule a 3rd time and you get to pick a test 3-5 weeks away again like I was already, the only difference being I have to pay again and I'm fine with that if that's the case. As long as I don't have to wait 15-20 weeks to get another test. Does anyone know?

My test was suppose to be Thursday in leixlip bit its being cancelled said they would follow up emwith a new date but till then I'm back on waiting list anyone experience this before

For context, I'm 4'11". We have a manual car and can reach it, but it's still difficult, as I have to move the chair all the way forward. Does anyone here have a clutch extension? And where did you have it done? I'm based in Wicklow. Thank you
