fella I got the lessons off told me to get upto in or about the speed limit fairly quick. Make progress basically.
Tester will ask ya simple questions ie. How do you check your oil, how to inspect the chain blaa blaa blaa load of balls.
Exagerate yer head movements so the numpty knows your actually looking around. Look out for the fecker asking you to pull over in an unsafe place. My tester wanted me to pull in on the side of the steepest hill in waterford and its a narrow enough busy street so I just ignored him and kept on going. Go me lol.
Make sure to wear your boots , pants and hi vis jacket, basically make sure ya look the part and are aware of the dangers.
Best of luck with the test

Yeah, I kept moving my head. If the speed limit changes you have to check both mirrors. Just move your head.
Make sure you put your foot down at a stop sign, i failed cos i didn't stop properly:mad:. Straight fail for that, even though you could see for miles that there was no cars and I did everything else in the test right!
