I'm sure there are tens of thousands of people in the same boat as myself driving on a provisional to and from work (without choice), needing my car for work, who if banned due to this illogical process faces losing thier job and therefore not being able to make mortgage payments and therefore losing thier home.
Brianc - have you taken your driving test yet?
Why are you 'without choice'?
Can you not take your driving test? Or use public transport?
This is what I believe will happen too.I'm wondering if people are happy to accept these changes with the usuall Irish responce of an initial outburst of disbelief shortly followed by a shirk of the shoulders as its forgotten about?
they are addressing the issues and these measures bring us (belatedly) towards best international practice:I'd like to see them addressing the issues that cause the accidents in the first place.
the situation where you can fail a test (i.e. are unfit to drive) and can get into a car and drive off badly needed to be addressed. the new private testing centres will have reduced the waiting lists by the time the legislation comes into force.yes I have - waiting, and waiting, and waiting on a resit
the new private testing centres will have reduced the waiting lists by the time the legislation comes into force.

You meanby next Tueday 30th?the new private testing centres will have reduced the waiting lists by the time the legislation comes into force.
-young drivers on provisional licences are a major cause of accidents
Do they really reduce speeding? I don't think they do. Why hasn't speeding been eliminated in the UK with all the cameras they have?-speed cameras reduce speeding and if you break the limit why shouldn't you pay the fine?

Hogwash! - Young drivers will not be driving with their parents because of social stigma, they will be driving with their fully licensed mates. (Who are free because they are on the dole)they are addressing the issues and these measures bring us (belatedly) towards best international practice:
-young drivers on provisional licences are a major cause of accidents
-reducing the drink driving limit also saves lives
But the idea is to keep the max amount of cars on the road to maximise revenue. So they will never raise the legal learnng age. (Also: less cars means clear roads, i.e no reason to speed.)Perhaps it would have been better to raise the age to learn to 30 so that the eejits who,they say,create the carnage might have gotten sense by then and we would all be safer,instead of crucifying careful learners who don't cause accidents
Okay, so we'll just take these people off the roads then, shall we? They can walk to work. Problem solved
cameras used properly at accident blackspots would reduce speeding & save livesDo they really reduce speeding? I don't think they do. Why hasn't speeding been eliminated in the UK with all the cameras they have?
