Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has statutory responsibility for the National Driver Testing Service, including all application and scheduling matters. Neither I nor my officials have the power to intervene in individual cases.
Urgent test appointments are available for employees of the HSE, a private hospital or the emergency services, where the applicant needs to drive as part of their job (not including commuting to their place of work). A request for an urgent appointment can be made on the RSA website.
