Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has statutory responsibility for the National Driver Testing Service. I have therefore referred the Deputy's question to the RSA for direct, detailed response in relation to the specific case raised.

With regard to compensation for cancelled tests more generally, I have been advised that there is a process in place where a person can claim compensation for loss of wages or cost of hire of a vehicle for their test if the RSA cancel within 24 hours. This does not apply if the test is cancelled due to adverse weather.
