The Department of Transport indicated that any significant changes to learner permits could create a 'surge of applications', increasing pressure on the current testing system.
The number of learners without tests is concerning, with over 230,000 permits untested and significant numbers from as far back as 1994 still outstanding.
Officials emphasized the need to restore testing capacity to agreed service levels before any changes, highlighting a ten-week maximum wait for driving tests.
Stakeholders recognized that the driver education systems are outdated and facing severe limitations, posing complications for implementing necessary changes effectively.
