Kildare Has The 4th Highest Number In Driving Test No-Shows

Dublin had the highest number of no-shows at 1,875

Almost 5,000 people had not sat their scheduled driving test between January and the end of July this year.

The number has surged since 2023, with a monthly average of 692 drivers not turning up to booked tests.

No-shows account for almost 3% of all tests booked, with Dublin experiencing the highest number at 1,875.

Kildare was 4th in the list of counties with the highest number of no-shows at 202.

Meath had 177 no-shows, with Carlow having 121 and Wicklow having 57.

Longford had the lowest number of no-shows at 34.

No-shows are not entitled to a refund, resulting in almost €412,000 for the RSA.

For the no-shows in Kildare, €17,170 was retained by the RSA.
