Delays Affecting Car Tests and Driver Tests: Discussion
Mr. Brendan Walsh:
It is interesting that the Senator refers to the hazards because that is very much what the hazard perception test is about. It puts individuals who are in training into a scenario where they observe a road in front of them and try to ascertain what is a hazard and what is okay. We are looking at that at the moment. As I mentioned, it is part of our road safety strategy. We firmly believe that we should make this available to the public and we will maybe seek at some point in the future to integrate it into the testing curriculum as part of the learner to licence journey.
