Committee on Transport
Driving Test and NCT Delays: RSA
2:00 am
Mr. Sam Waide:
It is a good question. The number of fields that the RSA will be sharing with the local authorities is considerably more. When I refer to the number of fields, I include weather conditions and all of the environmental aspects of a collision. We can share the full list of fields set out in the agreement with the committee. The more fields and information the local authorities and the road engineers have, the better informed they are in terms of what is required at particular junctions, stretches of road, cycle paths, cycle lanes and so on. This is not just about vehicles because unfortunately serious injuries and fatalities can also occur when people are out walking or cycling and not just when they are using vehicles.
