Is There a Driving Test Cancellation List in Ireland?

Published on May 15, 2025

If you're desperately trying to book a driving test, you've probably searched for a "driving test cancellation list." It sounds like the perfect solution: a simple list of all the available last-minute slots. Unfortunately, the truth is that no official driving test cancellation list exists.

The RSA (Road Safety Authority) doesn't publish a list. When a test is cancelled, the slot simply becomes available again on the booking portal. It’s a first-come, first-served system, and the slots are often taken within seconds. This article explains how you can try to find these slots manually and how to get a significant advantage.

How to Manually Find a Driving Test Cancellation

Finding a cancellation on your own requires persistence and a bit of luck. There is only one way to do it: by repeatedly checking the RSA's online booking portal. Here is a step-by-step guide:

  1. Log In to the RSA Portal: First you will need to access the RSA portal by logging in on the MyRoadSafety website.

  2. Navigate to 'Become a car Driver': Once logged in, click on the 'Become a car Driver' button.

  5. Then click +more locations This will show you a map with all the test centres in Ireland, each test centre will be represented by a grey pin. If any of the pins are blue, it means there is a test available at that centre.

The Problem with the Manual Method

While it's possible to find a slot this way, it's incredibly inefficient. You are competing with thousands of other learners who are doing the exact same thing. The slots are gone in a flash, and it's frustrating to spend hours logging in and out with no success.

A Better Way: Automate the Search

Instead of manually searching for a non-existent cancellation list, you can use technology to do the work for you. The GetDriving Test Cancellations app is designed to solve this exact problem.

1. Get Instant Alerts (GetDriving Pro)

Our app constantly scans the RSA portal for you. The second a cancellation appears at your chosen test centre, we send a push notification straight to your phone. This gives you the speed advantage you need to log in and grab the slot before someone else does.

2. Let Us Book It For You (Auto-Booking)

For a completely stress-free experience, our Auto-Booking feature handles everything. You tell us your preferences, and our system automatically books a suitable test for you the moment it becomes available. No refreshing, no racing, no stress.
