Driving Instructors Call For 'Massive Overhaul' Of Tests To Prevent Road Deaths

Clare FM

Driving instructors are calling for a 'massive overhaul' of driving tests, in order to prevent road deaths. The Professional Driving Instructors Association claims the current model does not require enough lessons with a trained mentor before sitting the test. It believes a change in the programme would prevent a further increase in road deaths. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Chris Curran, of Chris Curran Coaching in Ennis and Fianna Fáil Senator from Mountshannon, and Oireachtas Transport Committee representative, Timmy Dooley.
