The driving test service is run by the Road Safety Authority and my Department has no input into the scheduling of appointments. The Authority provides a facility where driving test cancellations are made available to applicants who may need an urgent appointment. An applicant should contact the Authority directly and request that they be placed on the cancellation list. In order to be fair to all applicants, cancellation places will be assigned in order of the date of placement on the list. If an applicant requires a driving test urgently for employment or emigration purposes, the Authority will make every effort to accommodate them.
