The RSA has warned drivers tests booked through unauthorised third-party platforms will be cancelled as it works to limit the ability of websites offering quicker test access to its systems. It comes as advertisements and apps targeting learner drivers are suggesting they can offer cancellation appointments “18 times faster” if booked through their third-party app rather than through the Road Safety Authority (RSA). In response to queries from Independent TD Barry Heneghan, the RSA said it was aware of third-party platforms and applications offering learner drivers quicker cancellation appointments. “The Road Safety Authority is aware of some third-party applications that are purporting to offer driving test candidates cancelled appointments,” he said. However, the only official site for booking of a driving test slot remains the RSA-operated MyRoadSafety portal and there have been no changes in this regard.
