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.

1. The Hill Start at the Beginning of Your Driving Test

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.

How to Avoid Rolling Backward on a Hill

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.

2. The Narrow Country Roads

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.

Position on Narrow Country Roads

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.

3. Tricky Right Turn on a Left Bend

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.

Trick for Nailing These Right Turns

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.

4. Turning Right at the Traffic Lights

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.

Tips for Turning Right at the Traffic Lights

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.

2.Driving straight through the junction at Charlestown

This is extremely important and many people fail their driving test for driving across this junction in the wrong lane. It is very important to keep left and join the road opposite the junction on the left hand side of the road.

The reverse around the corner on this driving test route is by far the most difficult reverse around the corner in the Finglas test routes.

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

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
