SGS Test Centres

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that everyone who passes their test in one of these centres is not a good driver, but I do feel that the standard you need to obtain in order to pass is not as high as RSA test centres.

For example, over the last 3 weeks I know 5 people who have sat their driving test in the Baldoyle and Ballymun SGS centres and passed.
I would only deem one of these drivers safe on the road.
The others fail to use their mirrors, indicate and most of all take huge risks in the car.
I.e. they have very poor judgement and regularly pull out in front of other cars causing other drivers to brake suddenly.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel that these private test centres need to be monitored more closely to ensure that the standard of safety on our roads is not compromised for the sake of clearing the back log of tests.

Sorry for the ramble but I'm actually worried about their poor standard of driving on display at the moment.
