COMFORT Driving 365 serves Galway City Westside, Flannery’s Hotel, Loughrea, and Tuam. We offer realistic mock sessions that feel like the real thing and show exactly where you stand.

This session follows the RSA marking scheme. It helps you spot your strengths and weak areas while preparing you for the real experience. Practicing under exam-like conditions reduces anxiety and builds confidence.

Everyone who has finished our beginner program passed their first exam.

Even smart, experienced drivers often fail. Why? Attitude. You might be skilled in your job, but we can spot your driving weaknesses in minutes. If you’re not open to feedback, you’re wasting your time and money.

As an instructor, examiner, and assessor, I’ve kept learning every day. That’s why I stay updated and keep improving my qualifications.

Tips to pass the driving test

Allow plenty of time to take good instruction well before the test.  Take constructive criticism as a positive step. You may have driven a lot of miles but you may not meet the technicalities of the testing standards.  You may have picked up bad habits and developed your own style of driving.

Your examiner is looking at your MSPSL (mirrors, signal, position, speed, look) or IPSGA (information, position, speed, gear, acceleration from ROADCRAFT Police drivers/riders handbook). You can follow either of the two systems of driving or riding but you must be within the system to convince the examiner that you have taken good training, delivering consistency in your driving.

Sequential gear change (going down one gear at a time) is not the only accepted method by RSA Ireland, block change (skipping the intermediate) is also acceptable. If you are comfortable matching the engine speed and the road speed, you can change down from 4th to 2nd, 3rd to 1st, and yes it is good for the gearbox. It may vary in icy conditions  – brakes to slow gears to go!! Avoid unjustified coasting of clutch or in neutral.
