“We know there is a high demand for practical driving assessments over the December and January period and releasing these additional weekend bookings provides flexibility for our PDA candidates.

“I encourage all candidates to make the most of these weekend PDA bookings and visit the Department of Transport website for tips and advice to pass the practical driving assessment.”
