Practical Preparation

The RSA Way's practical component aims to empower learners with the necessary tools to pass their driving test on their initial attempt.

By following a step-by-step approach, The RSA Way package simplifies the process of passing the driving test and eliminates the need for guesswork.

While our instructors will normally engage with you on a normal lesson, working with you to highlight and fix mistakes a driving test is completely different.

It's important to note that during the driving test, the examiner will remain silent unless giving instructions, leaving you to independently handle any unexpected situations for approximately 30 minutes.

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

  • 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.

    • Road Tax out of date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    • Insurance disc out of date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
