Finglas Driving Test Centre-Pass Your Driving Test
One of the first challenges on the Finglas driving test route is all the stop lines as we drive out of the Finglas test centre. These tricky stop lines can be detrimental to your driving test result. In the video, you’ll see I fully stop and then look right and left. Additionally, there is no need to use your handbrake here. Countless amounts of people fail their driving test at these stop lines for not fully stopping.
To avoid rolling over a stop line without stopping, first, drive up to the stop line and stop before looking right and left. If you do it like this, you will fully stop the car every time. Once stopped, you can now look right and left, and if it is safe to do so, proceed.

In this Finglas driving test route, the Finglas driving tester will bring you around the Willows housing estate. In this housing estate, there are so many twists and turns. Secondly, the tester will ask you to demonstrate your turnabout and the reverse around the corner here.
Turning Left And Right
In this area the tester will be watching you closely, especially to your position and observation. Remember, when you get the direction, we use MSPSL and when we steer, we look where we are going
As you will see in the video, I turn right onto Ballymun Road. This can cause learner drivers many problems in their driving test at the Finglas test centre. The traffic light stays green for only a short few seconds. Additionally, when you turn right onto Ballymun Road, be sure to drive into the middle lane.
Although it looks like we could drive into any lane on Ballymun Road, be mindful that during your driving test in Finglas, the tester will want to see you drive into the middle lane. On this road in particular, the left lane is a bus lane, and the right lane would be considered the overtaking lane.
Turning right at the traffic lights on Finglas test route 7 can be confusing. In this case, the solid green traffic light usually means you proceed to the middle of the junction and wait for oncoming traffic to pass before turning. However, it appears that we have the right of way at these lights. Ideally, a green right arrow should be displayed to make this clearer.
Turning right at traffic lights can be confusing. Watch the video below for a full explanation of what to do when turning right at traffic lights during your driving test.
Conclusion
Navigating the Finglas driving test route presents several challenges, from busy housing estates and busy dual carriageways. By understanding these specific difficulties and practicing the provided tips, you can improve your driving skills and boost your confidence. Whether it’s mastering hill starts, maintaining the correct position on narrow roads, executing complex right turns, or reversing around corners, preparation is key.

Mulhuddart Driving Test Route

However, all is not lost. By watching the videos we’ve recorded on the Mulhuddart test routes, you can significantly boost your chances of success. Below, I’ve compiled some of the best clips from the four Mulhuddart driving test routes into this informative tips video.
Let’s start with an important tip about cross junctions. You might be wondering why I always move into the left lane at these intersections. Many people ask, “Why change lanes and drive into the left lane?”
When driving on a road with two or more lanes, the correct position is generally in the left lane, unless it’s a bus lane or a hard shoulder. Once the bus lane ends, it’s crucial to correct your position by moving back into the left lane.
Another reason to stay in the left lane is highlighted in the RSA marking sheet guidelines. They recommend that when driving through a cross junction, you should be as close to the left-hand side as possible.
If you want to read the full RSA marking sheet guidelines, please click here
Next, let’s talk about progressing onto the N3, a key area in the Mulhuddart driving test route. When you approach this section, the examiner will closely observe whether you can comfortably increase your speed and reach the speed limit. Remember, the speed limit on the N3 is 100 km/h, and you’re expected to reach it if it’s safe to do so.
If your test route takes you onto the N3, you’ll also need to change lanes safely. The examiner will check that you’re using your mirrors, signaling, and merging into the lane only when it’s safe. Make sure to keep your speed up and merge at the first available safe gap.

The roundabout at Blanchardstown Shopping Centre is another tricky spot for learner drivers. This roundabout can be extremely busy, making it difficult to navigate, especially during the driving test.
In this section of the Mulhuddart driving test route, we tackle the roundabout in two ways:
Check out the video below to see how to handle this part of the route effectively.
Next, we’ll drive through some of the less explored areas of the Mulhuddart test route, particularly Huntstown. This area is known for its large speed bumps, so make sure to slow your car down and drive over them in second gear. Additionally, the roads in the housing estate are quite narrow, requiring you to be extra vigilant in reacting to hazards and maintaining the correct position on bends.
Because the roads are so narrow, it’s crucial to plan ahead and react to hazards effectively. A good rule of thumb is to give way if the hazard is on your side of the road.
Finally, let’s discuss a critical tip for turning right back onto the N3 and returning to the test centre. This right turn is where many learner drivers fail their test because they don’t realize the road is a one-way street. If you mistakenly stay in the far-left lane, you’ll have a hard time getting back across to turn right onto the N3.
Pay close attention to the road markings here. To turn right, you must stay in the right-hand or middle lane. During your driving test, you’ll be expected to position yourself correctly in the right lane.
Driving around the Mulhuddart test routes is always an exciting challenge for me, as I never know what to expect. If you have a driving test scheduled at the Mulhuddart test centre, I highly recommend getting familiar with the area. This familiarity will significantly increase your chances of passing your driving test.

Navan Driving Test Route 1
Today’s video we will be covering Navan Driving Test Route 1. This is the first Navan test route ever recorded for YouTube. In this Navan driving test route, I will be tested by our Navan driving instructor EJ. EJ will be imitating a Navan driving tester and he will mark me as a driving test student attempting my driving test in Navan. See the video below for Navan Test Route 1.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get inside the Navan driving test centre because the gates were closed so we had to begin our test at the front gate. I will share 5 tricky things to look out for in this Navan driving test route.
One of the first challenges on the Navan driving test route is a steep hill with a stop line before joining the main road. This tricky hill start comes right at the beginning of the test. In the video, you’ll see I use my handbrake and pull it all the way up due to the hill’s steepness, preventing my car from rolling backward.
To avoid rolling backward on this or any hill, use your handbrake. When you’re ready to move, bring the clutch to the biting point and hold it steady. Apply some accelerator and keep both feet in position. Release the handbrake only when it’s safe to go, which should prevent the car from rolling backward.
If you’d like to book pretest driving lessons or EDT driving lessons in Navan, click below:
The extremely narrow country roads on the Navan driving test route are worth mentioning because they are quite unusual. The speed limit here is 60 km/h, and if it’s safe, the driving tester will expect you to reach this speed. When the road narrows due to oncoming vehicles, ease off slightly.
Maintaining the correct position is crucial on these roads, especially when there are no markings. Stay on the left side and maintain a good road position on bends.
At 8:16 in the video, you’ll see a right turn on a left bend that can be problematic for many learner drivers. Often, learners drive straight up to the turn instead of following the centre line’s curve. Additionally, they might mistakenly treat it like a T junction and give right of way to cars from the right. However, we have the right of way.
When making a right turn like this, align the front of your car with the centre line you want to follow. If you need to bend left with the centre line, do so. Once the front of your car is in line, look where you’re going. Watch the video below for a demonstration of this turn.
Turning right at the traffic lights on Navan test route 1 (12:10) can be confusing. In this case, the solid green traffic light usually means you proceed to the middle of the junction and wait for oncoming traffic to pass before turning. However, it appears that we have the right of way at these lights. Ideally, a green right arrow should be displayed to make this clearer.
Turning right at traffic lights can be confusing. Watch the video below for a full explanation of what to do when turning right at traffic lights during your driving test.
Conclusion
Navigating the Navan driving test route presents several challenges, from steep hill starts and narrow country roads to tricky right turns and confusing traffic lights. By understanding these specific difficulties and practicing the provided tips, you can improve your driving skills and boost your confidence. Whether it’s mastering hill starts, maintaining the correct position on narrow roads, executing complex right turns, or reversing around corners, preparation is key.

1. Turning right at the traffic lights at Artane
To start with, in this Raheny test route 2024 video, we talk about turning right at the traffic lights at Artane. This right turn at the traffic light causes so many people to fail their driving test in Raheny driving test centre. In addition, driving test applicants generally fail their driving test for “progress at traffic lights” for failing to go up to the middle of the junction when they have a full green light. Therefore, turning right at traffic lights like this can be so confusing and I will add a video below to help explain how to do this correctly.

The driving test at Finglas Jamestown Road is considered to be one of the harder driving test routes. There are multiple different driving test routes in Finglas and it’s hard to predict where the driving tester could take you in Finglas. Take a look at the video below showing you 5 of the top tips to help you pass your driving test at Finglas driving test centre.
If you would like to book driving lessons in Finglas, click the link below and fill out the form and we will do the rest
1.Charlestown Shopping Centre
So many people fail their driving test in Finglas test centre for this alone. The driving tester would expect to see you come into the left hand lane but it can be difficult to know that because of the road layout. Remember in your driving test, the left hand lane would be the preferred lane. You can read the full break down of the marking sheet guidelines on the link below
2.Mini roundabouts in Finglas at Ballygall Parade
Next we are going to talk about the mini roundabouts at Ballygall Parade. These mini roundabouts are extremely narrow and you will need to use all your skills to get around them safely. I do recommend using 1st gear for these mini roundabouts, especially when we are turning to the right. If you want to see the full Finglas test route where I tackle these mini roundabouts, you can watch the Finglas driving test route below
3.Turning Right At Traffic Lights into Ballymun
Next I will be showing you the junction where we will be turning right into Ballymun. Turning right at the yellow box junctions always causes driving test applicants problems. Applicants usually fail their driving test for progress at traffic lights for not going up to the middle of the junction at a green circle light. I created a video explaining exactly what to do when turning right at traffic lights, you can see the video below
4.Turning Right Onto The Ballymun Road
Next we will show you the correct way to turn onto the Ballymun road. People often fail their driving test for not doing this correctly. If you steer too early and drive in the right lane, will will get a grade 2 fault for position turning right. If you drive in the right lane for a short period of time you will get a grade 2 for position on the straight. If you continue to drive in the right lane you will pick up more grade 2 faults for position on the straight and you could fail your driving test if you get 4 grade 2 faults for the same thing
5. Reverse Around The Corner At Dunsink Avenue
In my opinion, this is the most difficult reverse around the corner I have ever done. It is on a busy road with lots of passing traffic. Also, the reverse itself seems to go on forever. It bends around a lot longer than most reverse around the corners and it never seems to straighten up. I recommend practicing this if you have your driving test in Finglas or Charlestown driving test centre.
The pass rate at Finglas driving test centre is 43.6%. You can check this webpage on the link below

You can watch this really detailed video on how to reverse around the corner

If you watch my previous Mulhuddart test routes you will see me exit the test centre. Just be mindful there is a stop line coming out of the test centre.
2.Turning left onto the N3
This is where it gets really exciting. As we come onto the N3 National Road around the N3 Maxol, we need to increase our speed up towards 100kmph and merge safely onto the national road. If it is safe to do so, the driving tester will expect you to get up towards the speed limit of 100kmph
3.Tricky left turn without coming into the bus lane
Next we have a really difficult left turn where we would want to avoid the bus lane. Try to wait until the road markings break before we make this left turn. Also, be sure to check your left mirror for buses, taxis or motorbikes/cyclists.
4.Reverse around the corner
The reverse around the corner is in a difficult spot here on a slight bend. There are also lots of cars driving through this estate so be mindful of your observation and yield right of way to traffic coming from behind.

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
Next I show you how to turn right down through Finglas Village. In my opinion, this is the hardest right turn at any driving test centre I have ever done. 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

5.Roundabout on N2 at Lidl
Last we talk about the big roundabout on the N2 at Lidl. This roundabout causes a lot of uncertainty in learner drivers just because of the size of it and the volume of traffic using it. When tackling this roundabout you have to be alert and ready to pounce at the first safe gap in the traffic
