The scheduling of candidates’ driving tests is the responsibility of the Road Safety Authority (RSA) and as Minister, I have no power to intervene in individual cases.
Under level 5 restrictions, driver testing services are continuing only for people involved in the provision of essential services or essential retail outlets. Essential workers wishing to book a test shouldcontact the RSA at urgentdrivingtest@rsa.ie where applicants can request to be given priority and supply supporting documentation. These requests are prioritised during the scheduling process with cancellation slots being offered where possible.
