There is no specific provision in road traffic legislation regarding dash cameras and driving tests. However, the Deputy is reminded that vehicles must be set up in such a fashion that a test can be effectively carried out and in fashion that respects the rights of all parties. He will also be aware of the requirements regarding recording of personal information, including camera recording, under the General Data Protection Regulation, as well as the general requirements of privacy for all persons, including driving testers.
This is therefore an operational matter for the Road Safety Authority. I have referred this question to the Authority for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.
A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 51
