Podcasts about Driving test

Anne Graham, Chairperson of the Road Safety Authority

A Hawke's Bay-based motorsport legend says a plan by the Ministry of Transport to remove the full-licence practical test is nothing short of “ludicrous”. In April, Minister for Transport Chris Bishop announced a range of suggested changes to the licensing system, including removing the full-licence practical test and introducing safety mitigations for people on their learner or restricted licence. The Government is proposing the changes to make the process “more accessible, efficient and affordable”. Greg Murphy, V8 Supercar icon and Bathurst-winning driver, told Kerre Woodham that nearly 10 thousand people have died on the road in the last 25 years, 2500 of them between the ages of 15-24. He says this discussion with the govrnment has provided an opportunity to reassess and reevaluate the licensing system, and we can't afford to stuff it up.

The number of learner drivers who failed to show up to their driving test is now above 3,000 this year already, that's according to figures from the RSA. Shane discussed these figures with Sean Canney, Minister of State for Transport.

Monday Riff: Why is there so many driving test no shows? Are people just too selfish? Ciara and Shane had a lively discussion this morning.

Thousands of people are not showing up for the driving tests. This is then leading to longer waiting times for others.There are calls for a loophole to be closed so people cannot continuously book a test and not show up.Newstalk reporter, Josh Crosbie has been examining the figures.

There have been more than 3,000 no-shows for driving tests so far this year.Which means 3,000 working hours of RSA testers being wasted so far this year. At a time when there's a backlog of people waiting.Some drivers are exploiting a legal loophole that enables them to renew their learner permit so long as they show they have applied for a test.So, should there be consequences?Joining guest host Adrian Kennedy to discuss is Editor of completecar.ie Shane O'Donoghue, Driving instructor and Director of the Professional Driving Instructors Association Dominic Brophy, as well as listeners.

Long live the Jeremy mariachi song!   ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from Chris W - Love u guys long time, but damn you boneheads, that CEO should've been packing and been more aware of his surroundings and put two in Luigis head. There is no excuse for what he did. It depresses me that maybe 1% of the population understands med insurance. Its usually very simple. A man smokes for 50 years, or eats big mac every day while docs say for years u gotta stop or you'll get cancer. That person then gets cancer and expects insurance to pay for the best treatment?! Ain't going to happen. If it did, YOUR premiums would be WAY higher. Is tjat what you want? The CEO has no say about joe shmo and denials. Thats set by the underwriters and actuaries. Try not to be dumb fucks and feed this communist goal of creating a division between the classes. Anyway, love you all long time.   ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from comeoutandpla - The We Like Shooting podcast is the undisputed king of gun podcasts, transforming my soul-crushing workdays into a hilarious escape!

People are using third-party apps to skip the queue for a driving test. Internet bots are being used to go through the RSA website and secure cancellation slots to sell to people waiting months. In Ennis the average waiting time for a test is 5 months and 3 weeks. In Kilrush it's 4 months and 3 weeks and in Shannon it's 5 months, two weeks. Brenda Bolger, from Bolger School of Motoring, says it's understandable some people are turning to this option...

A call for young drivers to have 60 hours of practice behind the wheel before they get a restricted licence will be a big hurdle for some unless the government funds it. This is according to a Wairoa trust that helps rangatahi get their licences. The government has floated changes to the rules for getting a restricted license. Denise Eaglesome-Karekare, the chief executive of Wairoa Young Achievers Trust spoke to Lisa Owen.

A driving instructor says the full-license test is important for weeding out bad habits. The Government is proposing scrapping that last exam for new drivers - letting them move from a restricted to a full licence after 18 months, as long as they have no driving offences. It's calling the current system 'expensive' and 'inefficient'. But A1 Driving School owner Harald Leeuwenburgh says it helps maintain high driving standards. "A lot of it is an observation - people are not just looking around and not scanning properly at intersections and making poor decisions. That's really a big one that causes lots of accidents."
