Waiting for 30 minutes to access the Web site of the Road Safety Authority, the Irish equivalent of the DMV. Too bad they don’t have physical offices where I could queue personally…

    It seems to have just been a really weird way to implement an “under maintenance” page, as the site was planned to be offline this morning.

      That actually makes the most sense. It makes you queue because there are only so many tests they can administer at a time. So if the website is offline for maintenance it allows those that tried to access the website first to have their spot saved. Rather then forcing everyone to try and get on the website at once when the matinenece window ends. Now I kinda wish more websites that have limited sign ups did this.
