Irish Driving Test Routes
While the official RSA test routes in Ireland are not publicly released, the Driving Test Routes App offers the most realistic and up-to-date way to practise in the same areas where real tests take place. Every route has been created to help learners gain genuine experience and confidence behind the wheel.
What Makes the Routes So Useful
Local insight: The routes are built using input from experienced driving instructors who regularly teach around Irish test centres.
Real-world experience: Feedback from recent test-takers helps identify common junctions, roundabouts, and tricky sections that are worth practising.
GPS accuracy: Each route is precisely mapped using GPS data, ensuring accurate directions that follow the same types of roads used in the official tests.
The app’s database is updated frequently so that routes reflect any changes in road layouts, speed limits, or temporary works in your area.
How to Practise Effectively
Find your test centre: Use our test centre directory to locate your local RSA driving test centre.
Download the app: Install the Driving Test Routes App to access practice routes specific to that centre.
Follow the directions: Drive the routes step by step with clear voice navigation, just as you would during the real test.
Practise offline: Save routes in the app for use without an internet connection - ideal for practice sessions in low-signal areas.
Build confidence: Explore additional learning resources and tips to help you feel fully prepared for your driving test day.
Driving Test Centres in Ireland
In Ireland, all driving tests are organised and managed by the Road Safety Authority (RSA). The RSA operates a network of official test centres across the country, where learner drivers can complete both the theory and practical elements required to obtain a full driving licence.
About RSA Test Centres
Qualified Examiners: All driving tests are conducted by RSA-approved driver testers. Each examiner is professionally trained and certified to ensure consistency, fairness, and adherence to national testing standards.
Booking Your Test: Tests can be booked directly through the RSA’s official portal at rsa.ie. You’ll need a valid learner permit, your driver number, and an email address to manage your booking and receive notifications.
Nationwide Coverage: There are over 50 RSA driving test centres located across Ireland — from Dublin, Cork, and Galway to regional towns such as Ennis, Sligo, and Letterkenny. This ensures that every learner driver can take their test reasonably close to home.
Modern Testing Facilities: RSA test centres are equipped with suitable waiting areas and testing bays. Practical tests are carried out on public roads under real traffic conditions, while the theory test is taken separately through the official Theory Test Service.
Accessible Testing Options: The RSA offers support for candidates with specific needs or disabilities, including extra time for the theory test and adapted vehicles for the practical exam where applicable.
The RSA continues to review and update its testing standards to reflect modern driving environments and vehicle technologies. This ensures that every successful candidate meets the safety and competence standards required to drive independently on Irish roads.
Services Offered
RSA test centres in Ireland provide more than just the practical driving test. Together with related RSA and NDLS services, they offer a range of essential options for learner and full licence holders.
Theory Test (Driver Theory Test): Book your theory test online through the official service at theorytest.ie. Tests are available in over 40 locations nationwide, with computer-based multiple-choice questions designed to assess your knowledge of road signs, rules, and safe driving practices.
Practical Driving Test: Schedule your practical test through the RSA portal at rsa.ie. You can manage your application, check waiting times, and choose your preferred test centre and date once you’re eligible to sit the exam.
Licence Applications and Renewals: The National Driver Licence Service (NDLS) handles all learner permit and full licence applications, renewals, and replacements. You can apply online or visit an NDLS centre in person by appointment.
Exchanging a Foreign Licence: Drivers moving to Ireland from recognised countries can apply to exchange their foreign driving licence for an Irish one through the NDLS, subject to certain conditions.
Flexible Booking Options: Most RSA and NDLS services allow for convenient online booking, notifications, and payment. Appointment times are offered throughout the week for maximum flexibility.
Note: RSA driving test centres themselves are dedicated primarily to testing. Administrative and licensing services are managed separately through the NDLS or RSA’s online systems.
