How we report

What makes it onto this page

A story appears here only when something official has changed in the last two days: a new rule or fee, a statement from the Road Safety Authority or a government department, a hearing in the Oireachtas, or a new release of driving test figures. Each article links to the body that published it and says plainly what it means for someone learning to drive.

We do not report crashes or court cases, and we do not repeat a story without something new. Where a change affects the theory test or the driving test, the article points you to the lesson or practice test that covers it.
