RSA 'very confident' driving test waiting times will reduce to 10 weeks by September

The RSA announced a new action plan last month to reduce waiting times from an average of half a year to 10 weeks by September.

The plan to reduce driving test waiting times is “exceeding where it needs to be” and is on track to reach 10 weeks by September, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has said.

Its chief operations officer Brendan Walsh told an Oireachtas committee no contingency measures would be needed to bring the backlog down to the 10-week target, and it had the resources it needed now, with more testers being brought onboard.
