@Vistadrivingschool is a popular Irish driving instructor on TikTok with over 5,000 followers on the platform.
And he shared with his followers the three signs that they had passed their driving test.
Firstly, the driving instructor revealed that maintaining good control of the car is a major sign to look out for when doing your driving test.
This includes steering accurately, managing speed according to road conditions, regularly checking mirrors, braking and accelerating smoothly, positioning the car correctly on the road and responding quickly to hazards.
Losing control of your car often leads to a fail as it shows you are not comfortable on the road.
He said: “So you didn’t brake too heavily, you didn’t stall the car and you maintained good speed for your junctions and for your turns.”
Up next, the driving instructor said another major sign of passing the test is doing your maneuvers well.
Maneuvers like parallel parking, three-point turns, and reversing are common scenarios that learner drivers will encounter once they are on the road.
And doing them well can be a major sign that you passed the test, as it demonstrates your control of the vehicle, spatial awareness and understanding of road rules.
He said: “A lot of people dismiss these – they don’t practice them and they don’t think they are that important but if you’ve done your maneuvers well and to a really good standard it’s a very good sign.”
Lastly, the driving instructor told his followers that excellent observations throughout the whole test are the biggest sign that you passed your test.
Observations are crucial for passing the driving test because they demonstrate your awareness of your surroundings and ability to anticipate potential hazards.
By regularly checking mirrors, blind spots and scanning the road ahead, learner drivers show that they can make informed decisions while driving.
He added: “So if your observations are good, you have nothing to worry about.
“But if you lacked observation throughout your exam you have left yourself open for so many marks including on your junctions, your maneuvers and even on your reactions to hazards.”
Driving test tip
This comes after another TikToker shared the little-known mistake on the day of your driving test that could cost you €85.
@Next_level_driving_school on TikTok shares useful tips and tricks on their page.
Faded L-plates could give your driving instructor reason to cancel your test, and you may lose the test fee.
He said: “Probably better off not turning up to your test with the L-plate being faded like this because your test might not go ahead and it will be a waste of €85.
“So make sure your L-plates are in good condition and not faded, so the tester doesn’t have a reason not to go out on the test with you.”
