Which driving test locations in Ireland have no roundabouts?

Question

Tried the test couple of times and am almost sure there is no roundabout at Loughrea. As roundabouts are among the stupid reasons why they normally fail you, I was wondering if there are any other places closer to Dublin (or in ROI as a whole) where they have no roundabouts in the test circuit? Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

If you cant use a roundabout you should not be driving a car. its pretty straignt forward always give way to traffic coming from the right.

The left hand lane can never go past straight ahead, .

Ie  on a clock if you enter at 6 o clock intenting to take an exit at 12 turning anti clockwise you should be in the left hand lane, for any thing else past this or a complete 360 use the right.

You must never stop on a round about and remember you have to kind of sling shot yourself around the roundabout, that is the car should move out towards the kerb on the left as you go around, the idea of this is that you position yourself for a proper exit and people can pass you on the inside.

Inproper use of a roundabout should be a penalty point offence as it adds to conjestion.

Answer 2

Yep i agree with the guy above i'm pretty sure clifden has no roundabouts

Answer 3

Wouldn't it be best to know what to do at a roundabout? I have lost reason with so many Irish drivers not having a clue at a simple roundabout, nearly crashing into me on more than a couple of occasions.

Just learn how to drive properly.

Answer 4

Clifden......

Answer 5

the Irish Sea!

Answer 6

Not being funny, not looking for points but I back De Burca all the way.  If you cannot manage a roundabout you should not be driving.  You may pass the test and then cause an accident as soon as you start driving elsewhere as we have roundabouts everywhere.

Driving is a serious business which is not always appreciated by people.  they just see it as a means to get from a to b without thinking of the responsibility it puts on them to keep not only themselves safe but other people too.

Think about it if your mother/father/sister/child whatever were hit by a careless driver or a driver who behaved wrongly on a roundabout would you be mad.  Bet you would.

Practise on the roundabouts and go and give yourself the personal satisfaction of knowing that you passed your test properly and completely.
