Speed limit change 11Testers mark speeding and driving too slowly for the road.
-
STOP sign 8A full stop at the line every time, even when the road is clear.

Where the manoeuvres happen
Turas marks the likely spot for each manoeuvre on every route: quiet side roads, straight stretches and hills. Across the Nenagh routes:
- Turnabout 4 likely spots
- Reverse around a corner 4 likely spots
- Hill start 4 likely spots
How Turas works at Nenagh
- Pick Nenagh. Every route shows its length, where it came from, and the likely manoeuvre spots.
- Press Go. The voice calls each turn in time, like a sat nav, and lowers your music while it speaks.
- Hear the hard parts first. Roundabout lanes, STOP signs, speed changes and yellow boxes are called out before you reach them.
- 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.
Why not a free route list or a video?
- A list or a video shows one drive once. Turas talks you through every turn while you drive it yourself.
- It tells you the lane for each roundabout exit before you reach it.
- It marks the likely spot for each manoeuvre, and brings you back if you miss a turn.
- Routes are saved on your phone, so the voice keeps working without signal.
How the routes are made
1 of the 6 Nenagh routes were recorded on real driving tests; the rest are practice routes on the same roads. Each is matched to the OpenStreetMap road network, and learners' shared drives are checked every week for changes. Last updated 30 October 2026. The tester still chooses the route on the day.
