Two towns in Tipperary haven taken spots in the top ten places in Ireland to take your driving test.

Two towns in Tipperary have been listed in Ireland's top driving test centres, according to research undertaken by insurance broker Quote Devil. 

The research indicates that Tipperary is home to two of Ireland's best test centres, with Thurles and Tipperary both claiming a spot in the top ten.

Both centres have the same wait time for a test, with an average of 14.3 weeks.

Loughrea in County Galway has been crowned Ireland’s best test centre.

It boasts the second-highest pass rate in the country at 64.8% and is efficient in its service, with learners waiting just 14.5 weeks between applying and taking their test.

Just behind is Carrick-on-Shannon’s test centre in County Leitrim, which on average sees 89.2% of its monthly test applications scheduled.

It has a longer wait time of 17.2 weeks but still has a strong pass rate of 61.8%.

Rounding off the top three is Clifden in County Galway. Learners statistically have the best chance of success here, with the centre having the highest average pass rate of those analysed at 71.2%.
