A new plan has been launched to cut the long wait times for driving tests.
100,000 learner drivers are currently waiting to take their test.
The plan by the Road Safety Authority, includes accelerating the training of new examiners and expanding test times, including overtime for Saturdays and bank holidays.
It also includes targeted interventions in the booking system to make sure areas with the greatest demand are looked after.
New driving test centres are also to be opened to help clear the backlog.
The RSA has also asked people to help support them by cancelling tests early if they can't make it, and making sure their cars are roadworthy before arriving for a test.
