    Right lads. Its my third time. I HAVE to pass. Anyone got any advice or tips? I have a month to prepare.
    The last two times I failed because of nerves. Got the same tester in Chruchtown. This time I'm doing it in a different centre outside Dublin. I'll get a few lessons in to familiarise myself with the possible routes. But are there any other things I can be doing?
    Anyone had a GREEAAAT driving instructor to reccomend here in South Dublin City?
    Thanks in advance.

    1. Look in your mirrors often, but dont over do it
    2. Good observation doing turnaround and reverse
    3. Dont hesitate on roundabouts (also get mirror routine perfect here) and crossroads, junctions.
    4. Give right of way to traffic at junctions, roundabouts
    5. Take care at pedestrian crossings, try to anticipate in advance what the feckers will do.
    6. Dont be afraid to overtake someone if there keeping you too slow
    7. Stay away from white line during a bend
    8. move out a little from standard road position, when padestrians are walking on outside of the path.
    Thats all I can think of off hand, hope it helps!

    Good luck in your test
