Financial Statements 2022: Road Safety Authority

9:30 am

Mr. Keith Walsh:

We have a very good, active and engaged relationship with the Road Safety Authority. On the driver curriculum review, for example, a number of very detailed workshops have been held to scope out what the driver curriculum review should look like.

On the multiple learner permit issue, the position is slightly different. The policy decision has effectively been made. There is an action in the RSA. The Department, together with the RSA, would have agreed on the change that we wanted to make in the legislation. The implementation of that is what we are working through now.
