    The test centre isn't off road. It's just the reversing section they have a bay built in the centre for it. Driving is done on open roads

    I could have worded it better but reversing on the road around there was dodgy during testing hours, as the area is so busy. The only time I could practice the reverse was to book lessons after 6 and use the industrial estates. I wouldn't of liked doing the reverse on the road during the day when doing the test, so having the reverse off road is a major benefit.

    I used 1 school in that area for artics and use to go up to airways to practice reversing till airways became a truck park for certain companies and trailers then got taken up to glasnevin and that was even worse especially on Sunday lessons.
