    Yeah im on the same time in the same place. My plan though usually revolves around getting to the exam center at 7am, getting the best parking and getting stuck into my notes and 60 smokes.

    The main exam hall (on the right as you drive in) has plenty of parking. If you are in the Oratory or main building id say that you get there at leat 1 hour early just to be sure.

    Good luck tomorrow

    Where did you park, the clampers arent that bad you must have parked in the wrong place or you thought it was right place and they didnt

    RDS parking is ****, I was in a bloody place where they show off horses, a ring of some dimension. Although its free, so can't really complain.

    Watch how you park your car in those horse show carparks in the RDS, I've seen two crashes in them over the last two years. Winter early nights + badlighting + wet ground + slippy straw on the ground + learner drivers = accidents waiting to happen.
