On the basis of representations made to me and to the Road Safety Authority (RSA), it appears that there is a view among the public that the current driver licence application form is already confusing and over extensive. Apart from normal information regarding driver issues, the form also provides for matters such as the organ donation wishes of the applicant.
The RSA is examining the possibilities for simplifying the application form at present and I would be reluctant to propose any changes that might further complicate requirements.
