A Carrickmacross driving instructor is calling for driving tests to be broader in order to enhance road safety.
Claire McEneaney from Claire's School of Motoring is an RSA approved driving instructor based in Carrickmacross and Dundalk.
Claire says her business is based around her passion for road safety and reducing serious injuries and fatalities on our roads.
The local driving instructor outlined a number of flaws within the current driving test system.
