    Hey, try to relax yourself a bit beforehand and you'll be grand. Its the same as the car test just longer (about 60 - 70 mins but it goes quick) . You do two reversing around a corner exercises one, on each side. Remember to look in your mirrors before you signal, and feel free to take additional space (ie straddle two lanes) at junctions and approaching roundabouts to give yourself enough room to manouvre. Thats all I can think of, being calm and confident on the day helps a lot! All the best with it mate! :)

    Cars parked on the side of the road is one of the biggest issues, give yourself plenty of space, again dont be afraid to cross to white line and take as much of the road as you need.

    When i did my arctic test 4 years ago the truck broke down . The tester was from cork just covering a lad from limerick for the day . And asked me for a limerick taxi no i told him is was form Clare and didn't no any and asked him if i got it going could we continue with test . He said five minutes and he's calling a taxi do i jacked up cab opened the injecter and it started up thank god finished the test and passed after test a said to him i was thinking that i failed and he told me that if i hadn't put the triangle out i would have. he was sound don't worry about it thay not to hard on you as said most important thing is be aware of your surroundings and watch your mirrors all the time
