1. Turning left at Clancy corner
If you turn right as you come out the gate at Finglas test centre, there is a high possibility that you will take the first left onto Clancy Avenue. This left turn strikes fear into students because it is so sharp and you have to slow it all the way down and use 1st gear. Even when you do this, there is a high possibility that you could clip the path with your rear left wheel so this turn takes a lot of practice to be able to perfect it
2.Turning right down through Finglas Village

It is extremely difficult because it is always so busy in Finglas village and it is actually the second right turn you will see. Be very careful here as other road users will try to overtake you on the outside lane. I covered this full driving test route in Finglas and you can see that Finglas Test Route below
