How Turas works

  1. Pick your centre. Every route shows its length, where it came from, and the likely manoeuvre spots.
  2. Press Go. The voice calls each turn in time, like a sat nav, and lowers your music while it speaks.
  3. Hear the hard parts first. Roundabout lanes, STOP signs, speed changes and yellow boxes are called out before you reach them.
  4. Miss a turn? It brings you back onto the route. Routes are saved for offline use.

Works with CarPlay. Mount your phone; never hold it while driving.

The Clifden test centre

  • Clifden Clifden Station House Hotel, Galway Road, Clifden, H71 AK52

Pass rate: 66.8% in 2022 (national 53.2%). That is the RSA's latest table by centre, so treat it as a rough guide. Most fails come from things you can practise: observation, progress and lane choice. All centres.

Waiting time: about 15 weeks until you are invited to book a test, at the end of September 2026 (national average 11.9 weeks). All centres.

Addresses from the RSA's list of test centres; waiting time from RSA figures published by the CSO. Your appointment letter has the final word.
