You are allowed a few mistakes with regards to the questions, he'll ask you about 5 on road signs/Markings and 5 on driving situations. You'll only get Blue if you get 4 or more wrong. Otherwise you'll just get a Grade 1 (Green). I wouldn't worry, the questions are very basic.

I think I got 3 wrong in my first and got a blue flag,I couldnt identify what a petestrianised clearway street sign.(ive never saw one of them before)Got shown a cross roads sign asked what I would do if I was aproaching this road,after thinking about it for a bit,road of equal importance etc I said give way to trafiic from my left he fliped it over and asked me again then second guessed myself and changed my answer to aproach with care or something like that I got asked can park on a single yelow line,I said you cant,are you sure Yes.

I was a bit nervous so I hessitated and was thinking about my answers,wasnt entirely confident with them,which probbaly dindt put the tester in the best of frame of mind for the main test.

I'd say 99.9% of people know the answers, but nerves and the testing environment get the better of them. Just try and keep the ole head as clear as possible so you can think of your answers clearly and in good time.

If all else fails picture the examiner in their underwear, I was asked does it work and I'll tell you one thing " I hold a full Licence!!" Good luck tomorrow! :cool:

1Goodtime

Got driving test next week in Tipp Town just wondering type of questions they might ask and the signs thanks

seniorstaff

might i suggest that you study the rules of the road and know your stuff as you need to know the entire contents of the rules , as opposed to wanting to know what you might be asked eg , whats the maximum speed allowed for a car that is towing a trailer????

if you know your stuff , it will shine through to the examiner as opposed to learning off lists of questions.
best of luck
