Don't Panic. Our Kilkenny Driving Instructors Can Train You To Beat The Driving Test

It's only natural to have some jitters before the big driving test!

You'll always feel nervous if you don't feel ready.

That feeling of not being prepared leads to feelings of anxiety and stress, which can negatively impact performance during a driving test.

To combat the problem it is important to focus on thorough preparation, both in terms of driving skills and knowledge as well as mental preparation.

The standard procedure by most driving schools in to encourage regular practice, mastering the rules of the road, taking mock tests, memorising test routes and learning driving tester procedures.

And all of this is essential of course. But we think it is equally important to develop a positive mindset, to focus on the present moment, and not get bogged down in negative thoughts or emotions.

With a well thought out plan and the right techniques, you can tackle the Kilkenny driving test with a sense of calm and assurance.

The driving test can be quite different from your normal lessons in Kilkenny, and while our instructors will do their best to help you during your lessons, it's important to keep in mind that the test environment is not like this.

I Only Need To Hire A Car For My Driving Test in Kilkenny

Some of our driving instructors in Kilkenny are happy to simply hire the car to you for the driving test without the need of taking a pretest lesson.
  • There are plenty of reasons why that might be needed. You've done your pretest preparation but you don't have a car to use for the test.
  • You planned on using your own car but one of the following issues has come up:
    • Road Tax out of date
    • Warning light on dashboard
    • Tyres too soft or worn
    • Insurance disc out of date
    • No NCT
    • Brake light not working
    • Indicators flashing white instead of yellow
    • Broken mirror
