Driving lessons and tests could resume next week
Tests were paused by the Drive Vehicle Agency as a result of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic and only recently restarted on May 31.
It is estimated that as many 20,000 people have been waiting on a practical test.
Said Cllr McGinley: “There is growing frustration among people who are struggling to get a driving test booking since the services resumed.
“Driving instructors and learners feel they are being left in the dark over when driving test appointments will be available.
“While some steps have been taken to make more tests available, it’s clear that more needs to be done to tackle the backlog and increase driving test slots to get people on the road.”
