A Donegal driving has the longest waiting list for driving tests in the country.
Buncrana tops the waiting list charts with drivers having to wait an average of up to 19.3 weeks to get a test.
Letterkenny drivers must wait an average of up to 13.3 weeks while drivers in Donegal Town must wait an average of up to 15.6 weeks to sit their test.
The Road Safety Authority aims to have a national average waiting time of no longer than 10 weeks.
New rules are incoming which would see learner drivers who drive unaccompanied face penalty points and the car being driven to be seized by gardaí.
The legislation has been delayed drawing criticism from road safety campaigners.
Transport Minister Shane Ross has also drawn anger from TDs who say he is out of touch with rural living and long waiting times for driving tests nationally are often cited by people who say the new laws will put rural residents at a disadvantage.
