Wait times of nearly a year to sit driving tests are steering learners away from the road, a top instructor has said.
Kevin Horgan, who has more than 28 years of experience in the industry, revealed the problem was also going “to get worse before it gets better”.
Figures released to RTE from the RSA over the weekend said the average wait time to get an invitation for the driving test was 20 weeks - but Kevin said for a busier centre such as Tallaght this was significantly longer.
