Limerick man to attempt first driving test on RTÉ’s new series

A 65‑year‑old man from Limerick will sit a driving test for the first time on Thursday as part of RTÉ One’s new reality series Random Driving Test.

The programme, hosted by comedian PJ Gallagher, challenges experienced Irish drivers to retake the test on twelve different routes across the country, including hill starts, turn‑abouts, reversing around corners and tricky junctions.

Unlike the other participants, the Limerick driver, named Eamon, never passed a test originally; he obtained his licence through an amnesty in 1979. This episode will see him attempt the test in a car for the first time to determine whether he is still roadworthy.

Viewers can watch the episode on RTÉ One at 7 pm on Thursday.
