@stephenhyland4256 keep an eye on your mirrors and make sure you turn your head so the instructor can see you are checking them. 30kmph speed limit on Western Way is often forgotten during the assessment. Make sure you wait one or two seconds after the bus has stopped before putting the handbrake on, so as not to jolt the bus. The AVs are quite old now so the steering and power takes a bit of getting used to. Brakes wise are not as severe as the likes of a PA but do get used to them before going down out of Phibsboro/Broadstone to the lights. Other than that enjoy it, all the instructors are top notch guys and gals. Observation and awareness of pedestrians about to cross the road, press for the pedestrian lights etc, bicycles are all good observations to allow you time to react for when/if they come out in front of you.

@stephenhyland4256 also dont forget two hands on the wheel as much as you can, even if it is down at 7 and 4 instead of 10 and 2

Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated. I have a fair bit of experience driving AVs with private operators..
