Under the Government's 2013-2020 Road Safety Strategy, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) was tasked with conducting a review of the roadworthiness testing of vintage vehicles to determine the safety case and cost benefits, if any, for inclusion in roadworthiness testing.

As part of its review of this issue, the RSA conducted a public consultation process which ran for 4 weeks from 15 October to 14 November 2014 and attracted in the region of 2,000 submissions.

My Department recently received the RSA's review findings and proposals and these will be  examined by my officials with a view to submitting recommendations to me which I will then consider.
