Did you know that some 50% of people fail their driving test the first time round?

And that by far the main cause is lack of preparation for the test itself?!

This morning (Monday) on Deise Today, Waterford driving instructor Richie Roberts spoke with Damien about some of the common faults made in driving tests and about the common misconceptions about driving tests.

He also revealed that contrary to popular opinion, the waiting time for a test is typically also only a matter of weeks now!

Richie is involved with the newly-formed Waterford Driving Instructors Association which includes about 20 local instructors from the Waterford and Dungarvan areas.
