Chairman:

That is brilliant. We have held public hearings about the driving test and a couple of issues came up on which I would like to get the Minister of State's view.

Essential workers who have not been able to complete their 12 hours of approved driving instruction are unable to sit the driving test, yet some test centres are not using all the driving testers available. Will the Minister of State consider ensuring that, under the current round, these essential workers can complete their 12 hours of approved driving instruction? Second, will she ensure those whose jobs are not deemed essential but who require a car for work and who have completed the required 12 hours of approved driving instruction can apply for a test at the driving test centres that have spare capacity? Can the RSA be assisted to allow it to expedite the rolling out of online driver theory tests? Will the Minister of State give me her perspective on that? We will be writing to the RSA and Department about it. What does the Minister of State envisage enfolding over the coming short period?
