Motorists are now waiting 15 weeks on average to sit their test in Roscommon, Leitrim and Longford.

The proposal forms part of an overhaul on driving license rules across the EU.

It's likely the new driving test will reflect the rise in e-scooters and how motorway driving is a bigger factor across the country.

Whilst making a complaint does not require someone to state the location, 65 complaints did specify a location within the region.

Up to 30 thousand are on their third or subsequent learners' permit and have never sat a driving test.

It has been a decade since the driving testing curriculum was last reviewed.

Carrick-On-Shannon had the highest pass rate last year at 60.8%.

Councillor Brendan Barry claims anyone looking for a test in the Carrick on Shannon area will have to wait until May.
