    I'm hoping to do my test in Ballina in the next few weeks and I was wondering if anybody had any advice for me on what to expect from the
    Ballina Test Centre

    Thanks

    jeez where do i start! there's a stop sign leaving the car park of the test centre, the stop line at the railway is after the tracks and the sign, stop sign at the mini roundabout, don't stop at the larger roundabout if there's nothing coming, watch your speed leaving town towards foxford, look at your mirrors when entering /leaving speed zones, U-turn road is fairly narrow, bridge approaching U-turn road is awful narrow so don't cut it...... any more i think of i'll post up, do you know the route?

    when passing the school make sure to be going fast enough to make progress but slow enough not to have to brake going over the ramps, the tester is a sound enough bloke, all the gear on before you get in the test centre inc L vest, make sure you know every sign in the rules of the road book too
