The article highlights disparities in the Irish driving test where learners face vastly different pass rates and wait times across regions. In Tallaght, Dublin, learners experience a 43-week wait with only a 42% pass rate, while in Loughrea, Galway, wait times are significantly shorter at 21 weeks, coupled with a 65% pass rate. These inconsistencies underscore a troubling inequity in the driving test system, raising concerns about the effectiveness of training and accessibility as the national average wait time has increased from 15 to 27 weeks, far exceeding the RSA's target of 10 weeks.
Pairing learners with experienced volunteer drivers could significantly improve their chances of passing the driving test, addressing systemic inequalities in access to quality instruction.
The disparities in waiting times and pass rates across different regions highlight a profound inequity in the Irish driving test system, contradicting the RSA's turnaround promises.
