Some 102 motorists in Donegal failed to turn up for their scheduled driving tests between January and July this year, it has been revealed.
The no-show drivers lost out on €8,670 in fees to the RSA.
The Irish Independent reports that 6,441 motorists across Ireland did not attend scheduled driving tests in 2023, despite having paid €85 to the Road Safety Authority (RSA).
This year, the monthly average has risen to 692 no-show tests.
RSA figures show that Donegal motorists could wait until early 2025 to be invited to book their car driving tests at any of the local centres.
