No decision has been made on whether driving tests can resume on June 29th, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has confirmed. However the RSA said on Friday that it would be next week before a decision was taken on the resumption of any tests, aside from “urgent driving tests” for driving emergency vehicles, or medical professionals and “critical supply chain HGV drivers”. More than 56,000 learner drivers are now waiting on tests. Mr Ross earlier this month said there were “issues to overcome to recommence car driving tests”. “I can assure learner drivers that officials in my Department and the RSA are looking at all available options to get car driving tests started again as soon as possible,” he said.
