The Irish Road Haulage Association (IHRA) has branded the Road Safety Authority (RSA) as not fit for purpose amid serious delays in the operation of the driving test system.
The average waiting time for a driving test has increased from six weeks to 24 weeks over the past five years.
A 2019 RSA annual report stated the average waiting time for a test was six weeks.
IHRA President Ger Hyland said he believes the increase in learner drivers is a result of the “mismanagement of the driving test regime”.
He has been giving more details to Midwest Radio’s Michael D. McAndrew.
