Features
The prominent features of the Mulhuddart Driving Test Routes would be speed bumps, shopping centres, hatch/road markings and roundabouts. Examiners classify speed bumps as hazards and you need to check the mirrors and slow down before each one before building up speed again.
Mulhuddart Driving Test Tips
Generally speaking try to go over the “cushion” bumps in 2nd at 20/25kmph and the larger ones which cover the full width of the road in 3rd gear . Aim to slow down gently coming up to it, releasing the brake a few meters before hitting it and then begin to accelerate again once the impact has been made to maintain the speed.
If the speed bumps are far enough apart you can build up into a higher gear before dropping back down to 2nd or 3rd where necessary. Hitting speed bumps too fast is classified as a Grade 2 fault for Hazards and is one of the most common faults on the Mulhuddart Test Route.
The Blanchardstown Shopping Centre area can be very busy and there is a very busy roundabout beside it that testers often use. To navigate it safely you will need to both be able to anticipate a safe gap developing and have the ability to move quickly and take advantage of it. Faults for lack of progress or proceeding dangerously can easily be given.

Is there a best time to take the driving test in Mulhuddart?
Traffic conditions around Mulhuddart vary depending on the time of day, school traffic, weather and local conditions.
