‘Pop-up’ driving test centres in the works as over 100,000 await tests

As of March 30, just 5,671 of the 100,007 persons waiting for a driving test in Ireland have secured a date for their test.

Up to 20 new ‘pop-up’ testing centres could come on stream to help tackle the driver test backlog.

The Road Safety Authority (RSA) currently has 140 testers working in 50 test centres across the country, with 40 new contract testers to come on stream in June to help address the growing waiting list.
