A Longford Westmeath TD is speaking out on the issue.
Driving test wait times in the midlands are being branded as "completely unacceptable" by Longford Westmeath TD, Sorca Clarke.
New stats from the RSA show 5,700 people are currently waiting to take their test across Laois, Offaly and Westmeath.
Just under 2,700 are waiting in Westmeath, there's 1,906 in Offaly, and just under 1,200 in Laois.
