    Hi there,

    A couple of things specific to Tallaght I've noticed:

    - speed signs are few and far between so you need to avoid relying on these for speed check reminders.
    - there are a good few 'big' speed bumps which you need to have slowed right down for
    - the parking in the RSA test centre itself in Tallaght is very narrow, espec if driving a big car. You should crawl back in in first, and remem to do a good luck right before you take the left in towards the RSA parking area.
    - I've had problems with being caught on junction boxes for right turns and then the light goes to amber and you're stuck there so watch that.
    - The area where the test centre is, is quite an industrial one. The day of my test I got caught behind a couple of delivery lorries so you need to be looking far ahead and giving yourself enough time to stop if you need to etc. A lorry was actually parked in on the left of a sharp corner and I had to just wait for it to take off as had no visibility.

    Cant think of anything else for now. I failed a test there but the instructor was as nice as I could have asked for in the situation so no need to be worried about that side of things.

    Good luck :)
