Do not enter these unless you want to risk a Grade 2 fault. There is a lane to turn right and this often fills up with cars entering the Hatch markings. Approaching Tallaght Village to turn right onto Greenhills Road can be particularly problematic. There are also quite a few lane changes and good use of the Mirror Signal (Position Speed Look) Technique should be used with good use of the side mirrors on approach and just before entering as well as a quick glance at the blind spot just before changing. There are a number of Schools in Tallaght and care should be taken when children are entering or leaving school. Hitting speed bumps too fast is classified as a Grade 2 fault for Hazards and is one of the most common faults on the Tallaght Test Route. If the speed bumps are far enough apart you can build up into a higher gear before dropping back down to 2nd or 3rd where necessary. Aim to slow down gently coming up to it, releasing the brake a few meters before hitting it and then begin to accelerate again once the impact has been made to maintain the speed. You may need to change to 2nd or 3rdgear depending on the size of the bump and ability of the car but never in 4th.
Speed Bumps are classified as hazards and you need to check the mirrors and slow down before each one before building up speed again. The prominent features of the Tallaght Driving Test Route would be speed bumps, schools, hatch/road markings and roundabouts. If the car isn’t parked correctly simply reverse back and correct it but make sure to do adequate observation At the end of your test drive straight into space (you do not need to reverse).
Before the test reverses into a car park space to make it easier once you start the driving test and where possible leave the first 5 spaces free for those coming back in from their test as they are the easiest to drive straight into. Go slow in this area as it is very confined with lots of pedestrians walking to and from their cars. As you enter the Tallaght Test Centre (see photo above) you should stop or slow down to a crawl once you meet the hedge, observing both ways before turning to the left.
