How do I pass the driving test near Lucan?

Drive properly. Okay, I’ll give a better answer. Get manual or  automatic EDT driving lessons in Lucan from a good instructor, who is telling you the right information from the start. Take a fair number of lessons to learn to drive properly. Practice properly. Keep doing what your instructor has told you, when you practice with your sponsor between lessons. If you can’t do this, it means you will need more lessons. Give your instructor  a few weeks minimum notice of your test date, to make sure they can get the timing right for the last few pretest driving lessons in your chosen test centre. Study the theory questions, road signs, under the bonnet and internal controls. Make sure your leaner permit, insurance, tax, N.C.T., tyres and lights are in date / in good condition before your test day.

Once you get in there, you have to see that you have done enough preparation so you can now show the tester how well you can drive. I believe saying ‘Don’t be nervous’ is pointless. But try not let the nerves affect your driving. Accept that you may make mistake. But do not panic. Just fix them and get back to the proper driving that you have been doing for months in your chosen test area.
