    ^^^ this
    That could well be the case nationwide. I suspect their is a lack of bike testers everywhere. I heard that here in Kerry a guy comes up from Cork every so often to do the bike tests here in Tralee and Killarney.

    Got my test date aswell. Booked it about 3 months ago. I emailed urgentdrivingtest@rsa.ie a few weeks back requesting a date. Not sure if this helped with getting a date.

    Yeah possibly. I applied in June. Then asked to put on the short notice list there awhile back

    Have a mate doing the test and they got an email saying they have to bring their own headphones with a 3.5 jack connection. Email mentioned not to bring ones with with a microphone built in. Has anyone had a test where they had to bring their own headphones? If so what ones did you use or did the microphone cause any hassle? Cheers

    Something about interference with the receiver they use for the test. Would probably be ok but this is one of the times you wouldnt want to miss the allocated spot because of something small..

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Well done to both of you! Always great to see people posting that they passed here. The car test seems like such a piece of pizz when you compare them haha :D

    Funny you had them back to back. When I did mine, grumpy bike wizard, not sure if that's his boardie handle, was before me and we knew each other from spins.

    Thanks guys. Kinda had to tell someone!!! Pure fluke we booked the same day back in knockdown within minutes of each other. Goes to show there's no queue jumping or fiddling going on I suppose. Was nervous about the u turn cos I hurt my back about ten days ago and couldn't do it last week on pre test because of the pain, but no problem today.

    No. School bike,09 Bandit. Neither of my bikes suitable for full A test. Easy bike to ride. Examiner was very fair. Bought a couple of earpieces from China a while back for a couple of euros.
