As outlined in the revised Roadmap announced by Government, driving tests will resume from this week starting on the 29 June on a phased basis. With the resumption of driving tests, driving instruction will also need to resume.
The RSA wrote to Approved Driving Instuctors on 22 June, informing them of the imminent resumption of driver testing. The Authority included a series of Frequently Asked Questions, which provided details of the protocols being applied to driver testing in order to comply with health requirements in line with Government's Protocol on Returning to Work Safely. These protocols may assist driving instructors in taking the necessary measures resuming their business safely.
The safety of the public is of paramount importance at this time, whether from infection or from deaths and injuries on the road, and in this as in all aspects of the Covid-19 crisis, my Department will be guided by NPHET and national experts.
