DRIVING LESSONS DUBLIN – PRETEST

Why do my pupils Pass first time?

Why do others fail first or second time?

My pupils pass first time because of my knowledge and 25 years of driving Test Pass Success as can be clearly seen on this website.

Why is it so easy for me to get you Passed ?

I show them how the tester wants them to drive exactly on the day of the test.
I break it down into simple easy steps and show them how to prioritise their junctions so that the tester clearly sees they understand junction control.
I give them a demonstration drive showing them how to do the Manouvers. Many people fail because they can’t do these Manouvres.
I make sure they know the testers marking sheet inside out the contents of which can be seen below and the 18 points in which they can mark from.
I speak to them the same way the tester will speak,
I show them how the tester profiles their driving and observes their attitudes and composure,
I give them an inside track as to why the tester marks the sheet and most importantly i bring them through an exact Mock Test scenario that exposes weaknesses to me so i can fix their mistakes before the test itself.
I fix their driving habits quickly and only focus on the bigger issues they have…

Without having this knowledge then it’s just throwing away hard earned money. Candidates fail because of all of the above or car problems with no valid tax or insurance or out of date NCT certificate

MOCK TEST SUCCESS

My mock test is one of the best in the business.

All of my pupils undertake a Mocktest 1 week before the actual test..

This mock test is an actual exact replica of the testing environment including the same test routes.. During the Mocktest the pupil feels the same type of pressure and shows me the mistakes they are likely to make on the real test without my instructions..

This Mocktest is one of the main reasons my pupils pass first time because there is then time to correct errors and mistakes in time before the actual test..

Don’t waste any more time or money just call now if you need to pass first time.

Reaction to Hazard: A hazard is anything that may cause you to change speed or direction. Hazards come in many forms on the road and range from stationary to moving to environmental, an example of a stationary hazard would be a parked car, a moving hazard may be a cyclist, and environmental hazard may be a large pothole on the road.
