The Department of Transport has responded to the ongoing driving test backlog as the number of applicants hits over 66,000 up to October 10, 2021.
A further 28,207 have applied for their test but are not currently eligible to take it because they either have not completed all of the Essential Driver Training lessons or they have held their learner permit for less than 6 months. The volume of ‘no shows’ has also reportedly dropped dramatically to 1.9% on average so far this year. This figure previously was in excess of 10%, and therefore, there are "more tests being conducted from the available capacity at the moment."
