Disruption to tests
If weather or other conditions affect your driving test.
Occasionally, we may have to cancel your test due to unforeseen circumstances such as adverse weather conditions or tester unavailability. If
this happens, there's no need to contact us. We will email you a new appointment as soon as possible. Check Met Éireann's website regularly for updates.

Don't travel if weather conditions are unsafe
We understand that you’ve prepared in advance for your test and we want to minimise any disruption, however, road safety is our primary concern.
If weather or road conditions are unsafe where you live, you should not travel to the test centre. You can cancel your test through the MyRoadSafety portal and select 'Weather conditions' as your reason. Don’t worry, you won’t lose your fee and you will be sent another invitation to book a test in the coming days.

Coming into the Winter, it's important to be ready for extreme weather. We offer road safety advice for driving in poor conditions and explain the weather warning system.
