Hi there,

I have attached a rather typical example of the deteriorating condition of roads within Donegal. What makes this road special however, is that it is part of the circuit used by the Driving test centre for testing Motorcycles on clockwise and anti-clockwise circuits. The different coloured lines indicate altering travelling directions.

I sat the test last Monday April 5th (restricted fireblade) and was failed for reasons unknown to myself. I'm waiting for a reply to a letter sent that afternoon appealing the decision, complaining of the test route and the ridiculous road conditions and markings. I've attached some of the highlights.

Best regards

Liam McDonnell
