    Hi all, I'm doing my test in Finglas in a few weeks time and was just wondering if there are any particular parts of the route to be wary of in the test? Just want to be sure I'm prepared for everything! Thanks :)

    If possible drive to the test center before your test date, just to check out parking and where the waiting area is.
    There is an actual 'stop' as in come to a full and complete stop junction just as your leave the parking area, so be aware of this.
    Book in for a pre-test with one of the driving schools located there and they will run you around the test area, but you should know what exactly you will be asked to do as in left and right turns, turning right in a yellow box, reverse etc, etc.
    It's like the leaving cert, practising for the one question you hope will come up can land you in hot water, so don't hope for certain routes. You can plan for traffic at certain times and be aware that schools might be emptying during your test time so be more aware of hazzards as you pass schools etc.
    If you've done your homework you should be fine, best of luck.

    That 'Stop' on the way out is very easy miss.
