    Just looking for tips and do's and don'ts. It appears to be a difficult enough centre. Lots of odd hills and a very busy town.
    Any pass or fails there recently!?
    Thanks

    I passed in January... I was 1 mark away from failing... Just ask your instructor about the route.... (if he teaches in the area, he should know)
    I was thought by richy redmond, and we went around the possible routes that I could be tested on... Just watch your speed coming over the fly over near the test centre... Dunno what that road is called, but it leaves you down to a cross- section (I'm not from wicklow, sorry!!)
    And ask to practice parking in the test centre car park .. It's a nightmare when you aren't used to extreme small spaces to work with!
    I practiced in the area between 10am-12pm, and it was very quite.

    Good luck :-)

    Thanks for the tips. Kinda worried about parking in the test centre as it's very tight and I have a saloon car. The thoughts that I could do ok and then fail due to my crap parking at the test centre is a bit annoying.

    Ah I don't think anybody could do worse than me, I ended up going into the space at the worse angle, and nearly clipped a parked car, and was across (yes!!) 2 spaces.... the car was at a 45 degree angle..(opps) The instructor didn't even want me to try it again.... I think I traumatized him for the day at 9.45am!!
    I held my head down in shame walking back into the centre ...... I think I need more practice!
