Noooooooooooooo š”š”š”
I thought that was common knowledge?
If you fail, you should probably practice more with instructor to increase your chances?
I know someone who failed their test multiple times in a certain continental country (donāt want to doxx them by saying where as they are an active Redditor) but they had to produce a report to show they didnāt have motor coordination, cognitive or visual issues etc before they could reapply. They had failed about 5 times. The approach taken was that if youād failed a couple of times it was fine, but if it was a repeating pattern there was something seriously wrong and it was an indication that maybe youād be better off not being behind the wheel.
It seemed sensible to me. Thereās definitely an issue if someone just canāt pass and it probably should be checked out. It might just be nerves or bad luck, but they at least ensured it got checked out.
There will also be improvements to public transport to make up for this, right?
Right?
Iāve failed once in finglas, the inspector pointed nothing the hole journey, when we were inside the test centre the person started tipping on the iPad like crazy, I thought it was signing off paperwork, turned out they failed me.
I reapplied for the earliest date, 0 extra classes and the next inspector by the end of the test said: congrats itās a clean sheet.
Itās a scam!
They always fail 50% of people anyway, so failing twice is not a fair cutoff. Itās a money making racket, with the instructors subjectivity dictating the passes. All this does is take more money out of peopleās pockets in this rip off of a country. Making it more and more difficult for young people to reach some of the most important milestones in life.
You don’t need more lessons, you need more practice.
12 lessons is more than enough to be introduced to the basics, practice them with feedback and have at least 2 fake tests.
The problem is, while you’re waiting for your test (which takes an incredibly long time) you either drive alone and pick up bad habits, or you don’t drive and get rusty..
Although very much a weak spot for abuse, your instructor knows far more about your driving after 12+ hours than a tester for a mere 20 minutes. Instructors should have weight in your scoring, now, what that looks like I don’t know.
The whole lesson and testing system needs to be updated. Make it simpler. Most new cars are automatic nowadays, so split it. Have an option to do a lisence with a manual transmission, but make the default automatic with an opt in for manual. Auto license needs say 8 lessons instead of 12. Simplify it.
People without a driving license should only be allowed behind the wheel while accompanied by a licensed driving instructor.
And they should keep taking lessons until they pass their driving test, no ifs and buts!
My BIL is a driving instructor and he said beyond the 12 hours of driving lessons, it takes about 100 hours of driving to develop the muscle memory needed to drive confidently.
People rush the 12 lessons and go straight for the test. You need so much more practice.
Sounds just like a way to put more pressure on nervous candidates.
This is just going to make learners drive alone more.
As if it’s already not expensive enough for young people to drive
Took me several tests to pass. In the absence of a proper system of auditing and recording the tests, to ensure there is proper standardisation in how people are being examined this is a bit wrong footed. Ā
There should really be an appeals system and the ability to look back on a test and actual verify the veracity of a testers judgment of a driver.Ā
Too many people flunk out on things like observation when a tester could be just not paying attention or making judgments based off āsizing someone upā in terms of demeanour or if they are ānervous lookingā.
Test is identical to the one in the North. Fail rate up here is around 50% also. There is no mandatory number of lessons though. So it looks about right 50% fail.
Yāknow lads, a lot of headlines and column inches are written about proposals when the actual law never materialises thanks to pushback by rural independents about the ādeath of rurdle Irelandā.
Wake me when you pass the law.
Such a scam.
I failed twice, passed on third.
My second “failure” was due to the NCT cert being out on the car I was given to use. I didn’t know this until the instructor pointed it out and we never left the test centre.
Thank god I wasn’t doing it now with all these scammy money grabbers making more ridiculous hoops to jump through.
Time of day and tester are far more important factors to passing than anything else.
Also id say like 90% of people with full licenses now would fail the test especially if its at a time of day with traffic in general Irish road users are too close to the car in front in traffic or pass to close to cars on the side of the road… dont even start on the shite use of indicators.
Like if the test is going to be that rigorous then everyone should be required to resit it every 4 years as a form of licence renewal… otherwise it’s pointless as the people already out there driving are not maintaining best practice.
