The Road Safety Authority is launching a public consultation process on the future of the examination to mark the 50th anniversary of the first driving test in Ireland.
The RSA wants road-users to give their opinion on suggested reforms to the current process.
The deadline for submissions is the 18th of July.
According to the Communications Manager for the RSA Brian Farrell they’re looking at things like introducing maybe an element of independent driving to the test – where the candidate would drive without the direction of the driver tester for a period which allows the candidate to take responsibility for their own driving.
