Details

The aim of this report was to evaluate retesting for serious driving offenders.

Under Section 36 of the Road Traffic Offenders Act, 1988, those convicted of a driving offence may be disqualified, and may be required to pass a practical driving test to regain their driving licence.

For those convicted of very serious offences, this is an extended driving test. For less serious offences the extended test or the standard test can be ordered discretionally.

Offenders are also required to take a theory test to regain their licence.
