New driving test booking system launches today
It's to ease the backlog of 80,000 people waiting across the country
A new booking system to ease the backlog of 80,000 people waiting for a driving test is being launched by the Road Safety Authority (RSA).
From applying for a test to completing it can take as long as 30 weeks.
The RSA confirmed earlier this month that there are now 2,007 learner drivers waiting for a test in Carlow and Kilkenny.
Conor Faughnan from AA Ireland, says the high failure rate is a major contributor in long waiting lists, as well as the pandemic.
