Gardaí were called after this Dublin woman failed her driving test

Preparing for your driving test can be a most stressful time, that’s a well-known fact. There’s a lot of pressure building up to that all important day.

One thing you probably don’t realise if you’re attempting to get your hands on one of those all-important pink licences is that the stress can take its toll on your nearest and dearest too.

Which is apparently exactly what happened yesterday to one unfortunate soul.

According to a report in the Irish Daily Star, an incident involving a man and his female relative required Gardaí to arrive and diffuse the situation.

A source told the paper the man “went ballistic and arrived up at the driving test centre, where he issued threats to staff.”

The young woman had left the centre without any fuss after failing her test and apparently it all kicked off when she told the man her unfortunate results.

“The threats were fairly heavy, as the staff were frightened by them and immediately rang the gardai."

The particular centre in Tallaght is actually one of the busiest in the country. The waiting list there is reported to be 11 weeks long. Well, we understand it can be a bit of a pain playing chauffeur to your family and friends but this takes it to a whole new level.

The Independent reports that after the gardai were called the man then left the centre, but not before causing a serious scene.

Following his disturbance the centre was forced to cancel any tests yet to be taken on the day. So therefore creating more delays for anyone waiting to retake their test? Not a good start to the weekend for some unlucky Dubliners.
