going down that "Hill" (Slane, Co. Meath 2:42 ) thats way steeper than it looks on film.

One mistake. At 5.17 on a left hand bend the instructor said "always stay well in to the left hand side" Wrong for 2 reasons. 1- No allowance made for approaching pedestrians. 2 - by keeping as far out right to centre lane as possible it gives a much earlier view of any oncoming traffic including pedestrians Right hand bend Keep left. Left hand bend Keep right of your lane

This is from 1991, not as much learning by video etc then, the basic rules for a car test would have been much less then, as congestion was much less also, nice to see all the old and sturdy cars, no expensive ecu's to go wrong!!

[@goldhawkroad]

is that Charles Kennedy driving? I hope he made sure that himself was in a fit and safe condition to drive

@ciaramc29 what border ?

[@ciaramc29]

also New Zealand drive on the left they had talked about changing the side the Irish drive on but what happens when your reach the border???

[@sambarsoum3125]

ciaramc29 Same side in Ni

[@jack253]

@indyfan22k Funny guy. Australia, Hong Kong and Japan also drive on the left. Ireland would look stupid driving on the right hand side.

[@djkonore]

That's funny. That's just basic rules of the road that anyone should know before taking their car test!
