Hi all,

i've a provisional and my test is coming up soon. if i want to use my own car, do I need to turn up with a fully qualified driver in the car with me?

because, technically if i drive im supposed to have a fully qualified driver there all the time... would i fail i didnt have one with me ???

anyone done it recently ???

If I remember correctly, for my test, I had arranged a lesson for the hour before the test and my instructor accompanied me to the test center afterwards.

I was never asked who drove the car to the center and who would be driving it home afterwards.

Me neither! Most of the centres are beside shops etc - you could just say they were around the corner

Don't worry about it, they're not bothered about that. All they care about is your quality of driving while theyre in the car

No. Technically the tester cannot mark you on your driving conduct before or after the test is finished.

Don't let it wreck your head dude - it's just a stupid piece-of-p**s 30 min test!! Honestly - I had myself in a state and thats why I failed! I made stupid mistake cos I was so freaked out that cost me the test! I was so relieved afterwards even thou I failed cos it was over - my mum thought I'd passed when I came into the house with a big grin on my face from the relief.:v: :v: :v: It was only 30 mins for the whole thing - in the centre and in the car.. When I take it again I'll be way more relaxed

AFAIK Feb 05 was the last change, check the website to be sure. I think it is www.drivingtest.ie or something like that. Good luck, let us know how you get on.
