These are understandable and very good questions so in this video I decided to put together a list of the most common questions about the driving test to help you clear up any confusion and to guide you for your test.

my driving test is coming up tomorrow... im so nervous。。。。just come here to watch your professinol helpful vedio to get some encourages...god bless .....
Best of luck with your test
Thanks for the vids Dane... very helpful. have to admit to feeling rather deflated by what's going on at the moment. I'm ploughing through the EDTs, but these have been put on hold again due to Level 5 and there is no sign of test dates being available until well into next year. I'm hearing talk of 9 month+ delays, and I'm not even at test-ready stage, and given the endless stop-start lockdown regime, I won't be at that point until early in the new year. I'm in my 40s now (came to this game late, yes), so last year I had been anxious to get the licence as soon as possible.
Tough times, keep the head up.
@@DaneTygheletsdrive cheers, just seeing the repeat of the live stream now, so I see you fielded questions on the Covid restrictions.
Good to hear, going live again sat at 12
Thanks for another great video Dane. I'm just wondering, what is the general protocol in regards to Yield signs? Should you treat them like Stop signs or only stop if there is oncoming traffic? Thanks :)
You treat a yield sign like a yield sign, you don't have to stop if it is safe to go. But be careful if it's a blind yield then you will probably need to stop.
The one about going from 4th gear to 2th directly is something that I've done a few times and... my driving instructors told me not to do!! I've got 2 different ones and both told me not to jump from 4th to 2nd. And the reason I've done it a few times is, as you said, it's because I don't have time to change one by one.
I had my driving test on Thursday 1st time) and unfortunately I didn't pass :/. I discovered your videos last weekend!! Hahaha, so I didn't have time to check all of them. The thing that most annoyed me is that the test guy didn't want to finish all the test, in the moment "I failed" is when we went back to the test center. He didn't explain "detailed" what I did wrong, he just gave me the sheet you show us in a video, and it was mooore extended like had 20 different topics but each ahd the same kind of "mistakes"/faults , and literally said each one but didn't explain me when exactly I did it because that's the point of the mistakes say it when it happens. I remember comitting one straight away while I did it.
I understand the test guy is busy but to be honest... nobody was after me in the parking waiting xDD. With all this I eman is frustrating that the test didn't finish because then I don't know if I would have passed roundabouts, turnabout and reverse on the corner. We pay 85€ to do the test 100%, not just until you actually fail :/ and adding the 7 month waiting then it's even worse.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with going from 4 to 2 as long as it is done properly and smoothly. You can email me at danetyghe@gmail.com and I'll examine your report sheet and give you some feedback.
Doing .y test wenesday unfortunately my car broke down in the garage but doing Instructor car .....after watch your vidoes i dont care wat I drive bud I feel I'm ready u cover
ever thing wish me luck
You can do it. Best of luck with the driving test.
I've been watching your videos for months leading up to my driving test yesterday and I passed with zero faults!! Thanks so much for your helpful content!
That's why they call me the Great Dane. Congratulations on passing your test and safe travels 😊
Great video Dane 👍
I love the way you said that without watching it fully 😅
Passed my test earlier this month just giving ur channel some support :)
Hi Cian.
How long were you waiting for a test date?
Also what questions did they ask you before hand? Road signs and general road rules I’m curious about.
Cheers and well done on passing 👍🏼
@@conorhoran4147 I was waiting on the cancellation list for 3 and a half months. They can ask any road sign so know them all but the theory questions are mainly general knowledge. Look over the rules of the road booklet.
Thanks very much for your support and congratulations on passing your test 😊
Passed my test first time round in Clifden today...I was full sure I failed...I grazed the kerb in the turnaround and when taking off on the hill start the handbrake was partly down ...I also waved at someone I knew ....but the tester said i was very good and passed me ...happy days ....thanks for all the help
Goes to show what I always say - a lot of mistakes are not as serious as the learner thinks. Congratulations on passing your test 🎊
Thanks...I would like to see you do a video on parallel parking sometime ...it would help a lot
Hopefully some day
hello Dane i follow your driving lessons with keen interest and i find them very useful,could you please tell me how many videos have you done,and which one is the first lesson for a learner driver and how are they arranged
I've about 116 videos, go to my CZcams channel and click on playlists and you'll see them in different categories.
Has anyone passed without practicing in between there lessons, I have my test in a few days and since I stopped doing lessons I’ve only practiced a few times in between lessons and since I stopped doing them so this has really lowerened my confidence
It's not ideal but you can still pass, good luck.
Great videos. I’m a PDi. Trainee ADI. Is the refresher info relevant to UK too. Thanks.
Thank you very much and good luck with your journey, I'm not sure about the system in the UK but I'd imagine it's reasonably similar to Ireland.
Hi Dane,
Quick question for you please. If I’m driving in 50km zone should I be in 4th gear? My car splutters in 4th gear going 45-50km. Or should I just stay in 3rd gear does it matter? I have my test in 2 weeks thanks.
You have to use your best judgement, normally 4th gear is suitable for 50km but perhaps in your case maybe not.
Watching your videos 📹 like 2 hours day hope pass my test coming soon
Best of luck with your test 🤞🤞
@@DaneTygheletsdrive I failed the test in letterkenny..
The tester told me that I jumped red-light and which iam 110 percent sure I'd didn't jumped it and he said you were not moving off in the traffic jam..the traffic was so slow I was goin on a very slow speed.
In the roundabout he said you made a major fault for not giving rightway to the car coming from right as I feel like the car was far from me.i could see the car that it's too far from me so I enter the round about ..because it was too busy and I got chance only in after waiting 5 min the round about...
Well I cannot argue with the tester better luck for Me for next timw
Hopefully you can learn from the experience and do better next time 👍
I will dane ...and keep watching your videos they are really helpful
Best wishes
Hi Dane, I'm just wondering if you would recommend waiting in D or N at a red light in an automatic? I have been waiting in N with handbrake on but would the equivalent of waiting in 1st in a manual be to wait in D with the handbrake on in automatic? Thanks
Either way is fine, wait in D if you are at or near the top of the queue, wait in N if further back.
Dane if I'm stopped on a hill at the junction and I go to take off but the car rolls ever so slightly would that be classed as an instant fail
Probably not, if it's only a little bit of roll back it shouldn't be fatal.
Hi Dane I'm keep failing my test for example going to slow in traffic or to fast or not driving straight on the road, foot on clutch moving off at around abouts I'm get nerves with asking about question and road signs test coming up soon again no hand brake just a button
Why do you think these things happen?
@@DaneTygheletsdrive I'm not very confident always put my self down I got my Hope's up before as my driver instructor said I will pass fail fail
Driving is more like a journey, not a destination.
Any reccomendations for a first car dane??
Your first car must be based on your requirements, preferences and family size. I like the Opel Corsa and Astra but they will not suit everyone. Best to do research online and test drive some cars.
Hi sir please share question as well that asked in driving practical test
Theory questions?
Hi Dane just wondering, is it if you get 9 grade two faults or 9 faults either grade one or two that will cause you to fail the test. Thanks
9 or more grade 2 faults means bad news, not necessarily 9 overall.
Hey Dane I just got my learners license can I apply for my driving test now for 6 months time or do I have to wait until I complete the 12 driving lessons
You have to complete the 12 lessons before you can get a test date. Your learner permit must be 6 months old before a test can be done.
I have a full foreign drive licence, and I'm using it for less than 1 year. Can I show up on driving test using this licence, instead of having a full irish licence holder with me?
No because your learner permit takes priority over the foreign license. You must have a full licenced driver with you at all times.
Hi, Do you think it’s easier to pass with an automatic or do they mark harder on observation etc because there’s no gears.
They are not going to mark you harder because you are in an automatic, the only thing they are interested in is your standard of driving, simple as that. It's easier to pass if you get driving lessons, prepare and practice and don't believe in any stupid conspiracy theories. Remember the harder you work the luckier you'll be. Let's keep it real.
Well done Dane
👌
I have a driving test next Monday
Can you send me the questions for the driving test
Thank you
when do you need to drive into second gear?
When do you think?
@@DaneTygheletsdrive after moving off from first gear & turning into a road
That's right, you can also use 2nd gear for junctions and ramps and in traffic in and around 20km
Hi i have a question regarding the test, if during the test i am at a junction, and have obstructed vision, i will creep out slowly in first gear looking left to right, what if i see a car coming my way would i stay wherever i am currently standing or back up if possible.
Well unless you've crept out too far and too fast then you shouldn't have to reverse and so stay where you are.
@@DaneTygheletsdrive Thank you for your reply!
Stay safe
When you wait in first gear it means the clutch is also pressed down. Is that safe?
Why on earth would it not be safe?
@@DaneTygheletsdrive Just asking. If you will waiting at traffic lights. It will put unnecessary strain on the clutch?
No it won't unless you are using your acceleration at the same time. If you are waiting in 1st gear then you are ready to go, the handbrake gives you security.
Hello Dane. I like all your video. I have a learner license and I need to take my little daughter to the doctor. there is no one with me have full license. how the garda will deal with me?
I`m the only guy who drive in the house
The guards won't have a problem but thats if you get stopped you probably won't but wear a mask anyway it always helps
You need to have someone with you, if not you are risking prosecution. It depends on the Guard - some may be more lenient.
If your at a stop sign for awhile due to traffic would you use your handbrake test Friday !
Yes, if stopped over 5 seconds.
Hi Dane, I have a test coming up and have heard a rumour that if you get a beep from a car behind it is an automatic fail, do you know how true this is? I know in some cases you may be in the wrong and deserve the beep but just say the driver behind is impatient but you’re actually doing nothing wrong just going over your checks before moving off would the beep still result in the fail?
If you get a beep from behind it doesn't mean you fail your test, I'm not sure how you manage to make such a bizarre link. If someone beeps you then it just means they are being ignorant or impatient. Or maybe they are saying hello to someone else.
Thanks for the reply Dane, I feel a lot better going into the test knowing that
Best wishes with the driving test
