Raheny routes

miss choc

Test in a month and crapping it :eek: I know only know Raheny area a little bit but not familiar with the estates. I know one of the routes is along the coast road turn right at Dollymount lights up by Mount prospect and around the park and Clontarf estates but not aware of the other ones. Seemingly there can be about 8/10 different routes does anyone know the most popular ones and where specifically they do the reverse round corner and turn about I know I wont know all of them but if I could practice a few of the routes would be helpful. They only show one on You Tube.

Thanks for that think I vaguely know the Roseglen one from before just dont know the areas. Haven't done any of the reverses/turnabouts yet with instructor just practicing junctions/turns etc at the moment. Had a nasty one coming up the hill past Mint Cottage turning right at Raheny yesterday tight lanes, right turn and hill start urgh.

Try going through Middle Third - it's got cars either side of the road, half-on, half-off the path and you get done for driving too closed to parked cars.

Hill start often here:

Yeah will do, Raheny nasty junction at village, tons of parked cars either side of estate roads at Raheny and Clontarf, lots of mini roundabouts at Raheny and those nasty half ramps on watermill road. Love my wide roads

I'm sure you'll be fine. If not, reapply and look for a cancellation. I did mine eventually in Finglas (wide roads!) and passed no bother up there.

I can't tell you why

I think this is this one you have an idea of already. But maybe just to get a better idea of it, there is a video.

What people from the country don't seem to get about the test in Dublin is there are no normal routes, there are lots and lots and lots of roads in the test zone and you can end up on any combination. During my test I was brought places I'd never even been before. Best thing is to be at a standard where you can deal with entirely new areas as close to perfectly as possible. Basically anything from the Malahide Road down to the coast and between the Kilbarrack Road and Collins Avenue is fair game. You can't cover all of that!
