Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 3 March 2021
163. Deputy Christopher O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Transport if he will consider bringing car and tractor theory tests online in line with bus and lorry theory tests; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12102/21]
View answerAt the request of my Department, the RSA in collaboration with the Driver Theory Test service provider, are working on a plan to rollout an online driver theory test service. During the pilot phase, remote testing will be available for specific categories of Theory Test (C, D, CD, BMT, TMT, ADI, CPCB, CPCT).
Following a review of the pilot phase, the RSA expect the initiative to be extended for car and motorcycles in the future.
The RSA are keen to progress and extend the service to all categories of Driver Theory Test, however scaling up operations to facilitate higher numbers will take time to achieve.
