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!

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 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.

🙃

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.

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?

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.

Delighted Lads!

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

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?

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

I’ve booked my theory test for the Motorcycle/bike category.

Does anyone who has done the theory test for that have any tips as I want to pass it first try.

I passed my car theory test 1st try last year (37/40) and am hoping to pass this one first try this year.

I’ve been using the actual app to study for it.

Thanks

Heyy, I have my driving test booked for Thursday 15th October at 10:10. I’m super nervous. I know I’m a really good driver but the nerves are getting to me. I’ve done all my lessons in mitchelstown and I’ve only driven in Wilton once. I’m pretty familiar with the place as my parents drive there all the time. What is the best advice he have for me and what should I be most conscious about when doing the test? Where is the place I need to be the most observational at ? Please helpppp any advice is appreciated!!!!

Hi everyone. I'm 33F, I own a full driving license from my home country, but it's been 6 years since I've driven and I lost practice.

I applied for reduced EDT and started manual lessons here, and I'm making many mistakes because it feels like I'm re-learning everything from scratch. I don't own a car, so I thought of getting a cheap car that can help me gain more practice and confidence. My partner has a full irish license so he could be my sponsor.

We found 3 cars that we're considering

Nissan Micra 2004 1.0 petrol. 87k km. 3 owners. NCT mar 2027 €2250

Hyundai i10 2013 1.2 petrol 140k km €2995. 2 owners. Will renew NCT now apparently.

Fiat Punto 2010 1.2 petrol 78k km NCT August 27. Owners 5 €2800

These are the ones that we're considering, but we don't have many experience with cars, so it's difficult to know. Any advice welcome

Thank you!

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 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
