Top Tips for Passing Your Driving Test

Learn to drive with Colm Branigan Driving School

Get to know the area!

Getting familiar with the Driving Test area will help build confidence. Practicing in a similar environment will help you to anticipate the types of hazards that may present themselves on test day.

Do some pretest lessons!

Preparation is key. Having finished all your EDT Lessons, book some Pretest Driving Lessons with an RSA Approved Driving Instructor. Ideally, He or She will highlight what you are doing well and areas for improvement.

Sit some mock tests!

Mock tests are a great way for you to understand the in-car “test atmosphere” and to measure your progress. Choose a driving school that includes this service.

Know your car!

Know your car! If you are using your own car or if you are hiring your driving instructor’s car for your test, know what it can do and what it can’t do! Make sure you understand the technology that’s available and use it to help you during your test. Ask your driving instructor to explain or demonstrate all the driving assistance technology that you have.  Let the car do some work for you!

Know the Rules of the Road!

Get off to a confident start by answering all the driving test questions correctly and identifying all the road signs. This will do wonders for your confidence during the practical part of your test.

Act safely on what you see!

During your driving test, ask yourself “What’s the safest thing to do here?” – It sounds obvious doesn’t it? However, many driving test candidates are more concerned about what they think the tester would “like” them to do instead of acting safely on what they see. During your mock tests with your Approved Driving Instructor, practise this technique so that you are making decisions based on safe progress. Then during your driving test, repeat naturally!
