Almost 30,000 people are on the waiting list
.
At various times in the past year, the figure has been reported as anywhere between 28,646 and 83,000. “My real concern is that there are 28,646 people still awaiting a test date, which means that there are tens of thousands of people waiting even longer than the wait time data from the RSA suggests.“A significant number of testers have retired in recent years. This is foreseeable, and I do not accept that new testers could not have been recruited to ensure that these retirements did not affect the service.
“Recently introduced legislation which has imposed new penalties on those allowing their cars to be used by unaccompanied learner drivers has presumably led to an increase in those seeking to obtain a full licence. I flagged this with the Minister ahead of the introduction of that legislation, but the response has been completely inadequate."
