#1 Fail Reason The top fail reason is often reaction to hazards at the busy Hebron Road roundabouts where commercial traffic is high. Candidates also struggle with positioning on the historic, narrow streets in the city centre. Track these zones in the app →

Red Zone: Morning rush hour between 8:30 AM and 9:30 AM is very difficult as the industrial estates reach peak capacity. Late afternoon is also a challenge as commuters move between the city and the main ring road.

Local Hazards

Navigating the busy junctions near the Castle and the 'Hebron Road' roundabouts is a key part of the test. Tight clearance from parked cars in the older residential estates is strictly marked.

Community Advice

Be careful with the junctions immediately surrounding the office complex. There are several pedestrian heavy areas nearby, so keep your speed low and observation high.

Arrival & Parking Protocol

Tip: This second Kilkenny location at the Government Buildings on Hebron Road features a standard office car park. Parking is designated for RSA use, but the complex remains busy with public service visitors throughout the day.
