Committee on Transport
Driving Test and NCT Delays: RSA
2:00 am
Emer Currie (Dublin West, Fine Gael)
I am going to be cut off here. I know that it is the 3% of 275,000 and that 3% might look like a small number but it is 600 people a month when we are dealing with such a backlog. Someone has up to ten days before the test to change it. I think the RSA could do more in that regard and give people more time to reschedule their tests. That could significantly reduce the number of no-shows because the no-shows are adding to the inefficiency of the system.
We have to stamp out a culture of non-compliance on our roads. It is not good for road safety and driving behaviour. The RSA has a lot of responsibility here but it will have our support in advancing solutions as quickly as possible.
