    I have my motorcycle test in Navan on the 20th Oct. 12

    I did my IBT last April, bought my first bike in May, an ER6n and I have but 3,000km on it over the Summer. I did a pre-test last Thursday which was very positive except the instructor was from Finglas and he didn't know any history of past driving tests in Navan.

    Has anybody sat the test in Navan and would you know of any peculiarities about the test. I'm fairly confident and I don't get stressed with tests but I would appreciate any information.

    Thank you

    Just leave a 50 euro note in the glovebox and they'll do the rest ;)



    (Good Luck in the test!)

    Did mine in Navan in July. There are a few test routes that they can choose from. All I can say is once you are familiar with Navan you should be fine! One of the more popular roads is the road up the back of the Willows pub on the main road. I'd go up there and practice my turnabout on the widest section of road if I was you.

    Apart from that they could really bring you anywhere, so get out and practice. :D

    Yes, but its a good bit back down the road. Its the main road alrite, but if you are coming from Dubland go through the 1st set of lights and take the 1st left hand turn at the Willows Pub.

    As Wondaboy said, if you turn left there and keep going straight, it will bring you up a nice twisty bit of road and then onto a straight, it's up at the straight bit, which is quite wide where I was made to do my turnabout and my emergency braking, but it is only one of the places they can make you do it.

    Also up behind the Maxol garage on the main road in Navan, they can make you do the turnabout there or up in the industrial estate in Beechmount. Lots of places, but once you're ok with the turnabout you'll be able to do it anywhere.

    Just becareful as one of the routes has 2 80klm an hour zones which is unusual, and if you dont make progress you will fail. So keep an eye out for them. Remember to give a slight brake light entering into a slower zone and a glance over the shoulder when accelerating out of a slow zone, shows observation.

    Thats what was drilled into me by my instructor.

    Good Luck with the test.
