I don't really understand the first question, but in general you should not cross a continous while line.

Depends how had the crack is. Maybe post a picture?

Using your accelerator is fine. In a light diesel car you can get away without using it if you're taking off slowly, but in a heavy small engined petrol car, you'll have to use your accelerator if you want to make a reasonable start.

If I am imagining this correctly; There is bus lane to your left, which ends to allow for a turning lane at a junction. You have been driving in the normal lane and want to take the left turn. If the turning lane is so short that three cars are coming past the start of it to the bus lane, it would be to short to treat properly. I would use the cars length of the bus lane to get into the turning lane. Otherwise, you would be more likely to get a mark for lack of progress.
, also 2 of my tyres are way above the 1.6mm depth but the is a crack in 2 of the tyres will they let me sit my test
Depends how noticible / bad the crack is.
, also my clutch is worn so when taking off i need to use mt accellator lightly can they fault e for this ? thanks

Yup you always have to indicate regardless of whether there are cars around you or not...

Yes, always indicate if you are going around any hazard or obstacle that causes you to move away from your current position on the road, be it a car, a pothole, an over turned traffic cone etc etc Even if there are no cars behind you, pedestrians, cyclists and cars coming out of side roads can benefit from your signaling your intentions.

Yes, you indicate when pulling out from a parked position onto a road or even a lane in a car park.

Do not signal if it is unnecessary and will be misleading, eg; driving past a line of parked cars in a housing estate. People may think you are going to turn into a driveway or in particular a side-road.

Technicly it is 50k, but you will get nowhere neer that in a housing estate.

Yes, or just below. There are three stretches of 60k road on Raheny routes. Parts of the Howth road and the coast road. You should get into the 50s on these.
Do i bring my EDT book into the test centre before going out in the car ?
Yes.

Can't give a good answer over the net.
should i park in test centre car park or on road opposite the centre down in raheny ?
The Raheny test centre does not have a car park. Do not park in the space infront of the shops. Park by the little park.
Do you have any tips that i should do thanks alot

These are obvious but need to be said. If you are making a mistake, fix it. If you have made a mistake, forget it, try get back to proper driving asap. Make sure you have the basics 100% perfect. Don't try look at the test sheet, focus on your own driving.
