Driving test to get overhaul

The driving test is being overhauled.

The chair of the Road Safety Authority, Liz O’Donnell, has told the Irish Times the rules around the test haven’t changed in over a decade, despite the driving environment changing.

It’s likely the new driving test will reflect the rise in e-scooters and how motorway driving is a bigger factor across the country.

It’s not clear what the new test will look like, or whether skills like reversing around a corner will be examined.
