Hi,

I have my test in finglas next week. Anyone recently passed there? Would anyone have any tips like speed limits, routes? I am lookin on google street view to gauge speed limits.
anyone in general would any tips for finglas specifically or would remember any routes they could tell me? I am looking from Jamestown Business park to guess any direction of the test.

Regards

I did it there and I would choose it over Rathgar any day of the week. Don't know any other centres well enough to compare it. There are a few narrow roads so hug the corner as you are turning, and for your turnabout if you need to engage the handbrake to stop the car from rolling back against the curb do. Familiarise yourself with the roundabout on Glasnevin Road. Watch your observation in the centre itself too - when you are leaving the car park look right, past the boats, as cars come in from there.

If you turn right odds are your going to have to turn left into a very narrow road left is traffic lights and right up sycamore. Speed limits are 50 but in some areas with parked cars either side your better sticking to about 20-30. The main dual carriageway is 60, don't hold up people on this or else you will get hit with lack of progress.

Careful if your going left into sycamore, its like its designed to clip your back left tyre, just take your time and you should be fine....

I failed twice in Raheny and passed first time there....
