Over 150 people have died on Irish roads so far this year.
Night driving and travelling on the motorway are among the issues that should be tackled in changes to the driving test, according to a midlands instructor.
Junior Transport Minister Jack Chambers yesterday revealed the government's intention to review the way people learn to drive.
It follows 155 deaths on Irish roads so far this year, including 15 in the midlands.
Seven of those were in Westmeath, six in Offaly and two in Laois.
Joe Wynne, of Wynne's School of Motoring in Tullamore, says there are 70,000 people in a queue for a driving test:
