Driving test Finglas in 3 weeks at 8:20

Saleminski

I have my driving test at 8:20 am on a weekday. I'm pretty nervous and make stupid mistakes when nervous. For example not indicating or checking my mirrors. I'm practicing in my own car and I'm a confident driver just feel my nerves will let me down and il do something stupid.

Any tips for doing a test at rush hour traffic?

Practise is the answer, things like mirror checks and indicators should be second nature to you at this stage so I wouldn't even worry about those things specifically.

I would recommend you do a pre-test/lesson at this time at some point between now and then to get an idea of what to expect. It's still summer traffic, so it should be light enough I would think.

I remember doing my test (over 10 years ago now.) and worrying about nerves etc. But you have to realise that feeling nervous is all part of the game, it's your body getting amped up for action. My solution on the day was to just take a big breath when you sit in the car and the examiner says "proceed when you're ready" to begin the test. And just give it your best. Don't worry about the unknowns, just focus on what you've learned.

Best of luck.
