That left turn into Clancy Avenue is soo tight and you can’t really see into that road, can you reduce speed and put into 1st gear when making that turn. My car is a diesel so the slowest 2nd gear will go is 15/17km. It’s a bit fast for not knowing what’s around the corner
Hi are these the updated routes? Last video was from 6 years ago on another Channel and I have my test on the 14th so I just wanna be sure hahaha! If they are you’re a legend🙌🏼
I see you don’t indicate for most of the parked cars. What are the rules there? As there are quite a lot on finglas routes, do u indicate for all cars that are edged out ( as in couple tyres) or only when fully on the road? Thanks
Hi Madeline Passing parked vehicles in housing estates mirror checks only. If there is a parked vehicle on your side of the road and you have to stop to allow a vehicle come forward then you you must do mirrors blind spots and signal. In other driving scenarios you must be able to evaluate each situation eg is the vehicle partially or fully blocking the traffic lane, is there a right turn close to the vehicle, is there pedestrians around the vehicle. Best of luck Kevin
I just want to make a bit of a rant about speed signs, here, because I have my test in Finglas in a few days and need to vent on it. Some of the speed signs are ridiculously hard to spot for a learner. Look at the one that's approached at the left turn at the mini roundabout at 9:55. I looked at it on Google Street view. Evidently, whether through act of god or hand of man, the 50 sign has been knocked the wrong way around. There is enough for a learner trying to pass a driving test to worry about than trying to second guess whether the speed sign they're obeying should actually be the other way around. There are a few side roads as you drive up the road which are marked 30, so you may say that actually the road is probably 50, but you may also lose a mark on progress before coming to that realisation. Would a tester take into account the fact that the speed sign at that mini roundabout was the wrong way around and anyone who was even trying to follow the speed limit in the first place could understandably miss it and think they were still on a 30 road? Then there's the one at the 6:00 from the right turn at mini roundabout onto Griffith road. Small speed sign again, behind trees on that approach until the last second. Anyone could miss that if they were concentrating on some hazard immediately on the road in front. The thing saving you there would be the common sense to say that it's a residential area, so it would be 30. There are probably many such signs around Finglas, hiding off to the left, far back from the footpath, and written on the smallest size regulatory sign available. Why can't the limits be written on the road as they change? They already write it on the road in some places, but it's often in the middle of an estate where you already know it's 30. Put it at actual places where the limit changes. Ah damn, I wish I'd taken my test a couple of years earlier, back when you could fairly reliably assume that the speed limit would be a blanket 50, or occasional 60.
