How many tries did it take you .......... to pass your Driver's Test ?

: Theory Test ?

: And The Dreaded Driving Test ? xx


How long did it take you to get your Driver's License ?

Did two driving tests
One for a motorbike, Passed first time
One for a car also passed first time.

Tip to pass your test, before you take the test, drive all the time as if you are doing your test, this will stop you developing bad habits which will trip you up as you will be thinking about not doing any of them and this reduces your concentration on driving during the test itself.

Cool job ! Passing on first try in both !!


About not developing bad driving habits -- I've been driving 20+ years on my US license x

In a stick shift I have a terrible habit of Coasting -- you're not supposed to do x

Is there not a reciprecal arrangement where you can exchange your US Driving Licence for an Irish one Have you looked into this Denali ?

Passed the theory test first time which was easy, think it's a bit harder now. Passed my driving test on the second attempt, of course first time wasn't my fault.

Did not do theory but passed first time here many years ago also did US and advanced, did advanced here took me 2 goes bad habits ,!! Agreed big difference in stick and auto drove my daughters auto few months back and every one nearly went through screen.

Them driving instructors !! (Some be lovely )

I took each of my mandatory 12 hr lessons (broken into 2hr blocks , done in three days) with a diff instructor .

I figured if I get too comfortable with one guy , when Test comes I might freak out with nerves having a stranger

in my car ... Also , I think you learn diff things from diff people xx (which came to be true : picked up absolutely

vital info from each , which none of the others addressed == > I think that's the way to go : as many diff instructors

as you're able for , for maximum benefits ) x

BUT ! Them Driver Instructors !! Put the fear into you !!

: Even the evening right before my Driver's Test one of them was harking at me for an Instant Fail maneuver !!

Panic creation for nothing .

I think they do have a good racket on their hands -- I have a feeling they want to have you keep taking lessons xxx

Unfortunately no , there isn't .. grrrr !!

At least there wasn't one two yrs ago when I did the Irish Theory -- passed First Go xx

Theory test on my first attempt,i felt sorry do for the guy next to me who was on his 9th attempt .

Didn't get the license do until my 4th attempt

If your doing it,maybe try Ennis,statistically it has the highest pass rate in the country
