Driving Test is straightforward. For Cars it will last about 40 minutes and will include:\n<br><br>\n* Questions on the rules of the road including road signs.\n<br>\n* Reversing around a left corner.\n<br>\n* A turnabout in the road.\n<br>\n* A hill start\n<br>\n* Driving approximately 10 km under a variety of road and traffic conditions.\n<br><br>\nYour driving will be assessed in the following situations:<br><br>\n\n* Moving off.\n<br>\n* Driving in traffic.\n<br>\n* Stopping.\n<br>\n* Reversing round a left corner.\n<br>\n* Turing about to face in the opposite direction.\n<br>\n\n* Starting on a hill.\n<br><br>\nAspects of your driving assessed in:\n<br><br>\n* Road positioning.\n<br>\n* Overtaking and passing.\n<br>\n* Anticipation and observation.\n<br>\n* Use of mirrors and signals.\n<br>\n* Progress.\n<br>\n* Speed.\n<br>\n* Compliances with traffic lights road signs and markings.\n<br>\n* Use of the vehicle controls accelerator clutch gears breaks and steering.\n<br>\n* Use of secondary controls.\n<br><br>\nUseful information to help you:\n<br><br>\n* The driving tester will realise that you may be nervous and will try to put you at ease.\n<br>\n* Unlike your instructor the driving tester will not offer you encouragement or advice. You should not be put off by this formal approach which is designed to ensure fairness to all applicants.\n<br>\n* While you will be given clear directions throughout the test should you not understand a particular direction ask the driving tester to clarify it.\n<br>\n* If you make a mistake do not worry unduly. It may not be as serious as it appears and may not mean you have failed your test.\n<br>\n* A supervisory tester may accompany the tester this is quite normal.\n<br><br>\nCommon faults contributing to test failure:\n<br><br>\n* Inadequate observations moving off at junctions, at roundabouts and when changing lanes.\n<br>\n* Failure to anticipate the actions of other drivers.\n<br>\n* Incorrect road position on the straight, on bends, turning left, turning right, at roundabouts and when overtaking.\n<br>\n* Inadequate progress at junctions roundabouts on the straight and when turning right and when overtaking.\n<br>\n* Incorrect or inadequate use of mirrors and signals.\n<br>\n* Non compliance with traffic controls eg. road markings, road signs, traffic lights.\n<br>\n* Incorrect, inadequate or inappropriate use of vehicle controls including gears, clutch, accelerator, steering, handbrake, foot brake and secondary controls.\n<br>\n* Excessive speed for the road or traffic conditions.\n<br>\n* Failure to yield right of way to others.\n<br>\n* Lack of competence in the reverse and turnabout maneuvers.\n<br><br>\nIf you pass:\n<br><br>\n* You will receive a certificate of competency to drive. This enables you to apply to your local motor taxation office for a full driving licence.\n<br><br>\nIf you fail:\n<br><br>\n* You will receive a detailed report on which faults occurred on the test. Pay particular attention to these when preparing for your next test without of course neglecting other aspects of your driving.\n<br>\n* A person aggrieved by a decision of a driving tester may appeal to the appropriate District Court under section 33 of the road traffic act 1961 . The District Court may either refuse the appeal or if satisfied the test was not properly conducted direct that the applicant be given a further test without payment of another fee.\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9c90d18 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9c90d18\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\" data-e-bg-lazyload=\".elementor-background-overlay\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-885d64c\" data-id=\"885d64c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To pass the Irish driving test it is necessary to: * Maintain proper control over the vehicle at all times. * Show anticipation and awareness. * Take proper precautions when moving off, stopping, overtaking, changing direction and meeting other traffic. * Maintain safe and reasonable progress when driving and when meeting and crossing the path [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"elementor_header_footer","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/adicork.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/632"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/adicork.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/adicork.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adicork.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adicork.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=632"}],"version-history":[{"count":46,"href":"https:\/\/adicork.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/632\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":695,"href":"https:\/\/adicork.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/632\/revisions\/695"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/adicork.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adicork.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adicork.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
