Drivers should have to retake theory test when renewing licences, according to new Labour proposal

Mr. Ahern insists that drivers must undergo regular assessments to ensure they are aware of new road laws and safety measures. He suggests implementing theory tests during license renewals every decade, emphasizing the increase in road fatalities and the need for drivers to understand the rules fully. Ahern raises questions about current drivers' knowledge of new signs and regulations, advocating for consequences to enforce better driving behavior and increase road safety for all. This proposal reflects broader concerns regarding driver competence and public safety.

Mr. Ahern argued that just like professional development, drivers should undergo regular testing to stay updated on rules and safety measures, particularly amidst rising fatalities.

Highlighting the issue of bad driving, Mr. Ahern emphasized that consequences must exist for infractions to change driving behaviors and ensure road safety.
