IMPORTANT NOTICE

 

Driving test update

Please note that our customer service agents cannot book or cancel driving tests over the phone or offer any updates on waiting times, so we kindly ask that you do not telephone our call centre for this information. 

 

Test appointments are solely by invitation

Test appointments are by invitation only so if you’re already on the driving test waiting list, no further action is needed. We’ll contact you directly when slots become available.

 

If you have received an invitation to book a test, need to cancel a test, or wish to join the waiting list, please go ahead and sign in to MyRoadSafety now.

 

Urgent tests for essential workers only

Under current restrictions, we can only offer tests to essential workers. If you’re an essential worker who has already applied for a test and completed all your driver training please fill in this form and we’ll prioritise your application.

 

If you’re not an essential worker and have an upcoming appointment scheduled, please cancel your test. Don’t worry, you won’t lose your fee and you will be kept on the waiting list. Know more

We have introduced new safety measures to the driving test which candidates must follow. Know more

 

Weather disruptions

Check if your driving test is affected by adverse weather. Tests will be cancelled if conditions are unsafe.

 

Penalty Point Statistics

View Ireland's latest penalty point statistics by offence type or number of points incurred per driver, or view the number of drivers by licence type. You can take a closer look by viewing the statistics for a specific month or get a different perspective by rearranging by county, by offence category, alphabetically or highest to lowest.

This search facility is currently being redeveloped. Download the latest Penalty Point stats here. 

You can still use the search below for years 2011 - 2014.

Year

The report shows points on drivers' licences at the end of a given month, going back three years. The report does not represent a view of the total number of penalty points incurred historically, as points are wiped from a driver's licence after three years.

The 29 counties listed represent local authorities issuing driving licences. The additional 'no driver number' category represents drivers whose recorded details did not match a driver license number, e.g., Northern Irish and overseas licences

The offences have been grouped in Driver, Vehicle, Licence and Other for ease of reference online. This categorisation is not a legal interpretation.
