Online driver theory tests under consideration to help clear backlog

The Government has not classified the Driver Theory Test as an essential service, with all driver theory tests currently suspended until May 3.

Driver theory tests could move online in a bid to help clear the growing backlog of those waiting to take the test.

Speaking in the Dáil, Tánaiste Leo Varadkar said the possibility of online theory tests is something the government is “working on” at the moment.”
