The Road Safety Authority (RSA) is responsible for the operation of motorcycle tests.
While I cannot comment on individual cases, I understand there is no excessive delay on motorcycles tests in comparison to car driving tests. While there have been some centres where it has taken longer to get a motorcycle test than a car test, driver testers have been recently upskilled to test this category and lists are therefore reducing across the board.
I am also referring the question to the RSA for further clarification of the position. If you do not have a further response within ten days, please contact my private office.
