I feel I’ve been hearing about this supposed ‘crackdown’ for years.

The term crackdown paired with road traffic enforcement of any kind in Ireland is an absolute joke. They don’t need to run a crackdown, we just need basic enforcement.

Just make each permit more expensive than the previous

>“It is intended to restrict eligibility for third or fourth permits by requiring that the learner has taken a practical test before they can renew their permit, and that **no more than four successive permits may be issued before a learner must start the learner driver process again** (theory test, learner permit, 12 compulsory lessons, practical test).”
is that ‘starting from now’, or say you’re on your fourth at the minute, will you have to do all the lessons etc if you fail your next test?
(that could be a lot of extra people dumped into the system over a short period of time if so)

They’ll do anything but enforce the rules of the road.

Can’t read the whole article. Do we know at least how many people are actually doing this? Is it really a big problem to worry about or just some easy job that can make nice headlines?

I tried to start the process of learning again after a number of years (gave up until I got my own car) and they made me renew an old learner permit instead. Would be kinda funny if I had to redo everything after already voluntarily paying to do the lessons again.

I personally know someone who is on a learner permit for about 15 years.
