Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

The policy and management of the surrendering of driving licences is the responsibility of the Road Safety Authority. In light of the RSA's responsibility in the matters raised, I have referred the Deputy's question to the Authority for a more detailed reply.  Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 42A.
