Driving licences, learner’s permit fees and National Car Tests costs all are set to rise in the New Year, The Road Safety Authority announced yesterday. The price hikes will see a learners permit rise from €35 to €45 and a driving licence that has cost €55 jump to €65.

These increased costs will take effect from next month – but what are your thoughts? Is Ireland becoming increasingly anti-car, and is there now too much of a strain on young motorists trying to get on the road?

Guest host Clare McKenna is joined by listeners to discuss.
