How in the name of all that is good and holy is it possible to have a learner permit for 30 years?
Surely there has to be a point where we say maybe driving isn’t for you?
How can you get a learner permit for 30 years? After your third one they just renew it for 1 year instead of 2?
And here was me being paranoid I didn’t have my tax disc yet( I had paid was just waiting for the disk)…….
expensive day, speeding, 7 penalty points, €1,000 euro fine for driving unaccompanied and car impounded
edit driving under the influence and arrested as well
Fuckin’ Marty McFly here, huh!
I know a woman whos been driving on a learner licence her entire adult life and has never gotten in trouble for it somehow.
My dad never took his driving test, he said that they just gave everyone who was on thier 2nd provo a full licence 😂
I know several people who’ve been driving on provisionals for 10-40 years and getting away with it. One of them got caught after 20 and had her car seized so she went to take a pre test lesson before taking the test, when the instructor pointed out a litany of errors she had with her driving she decided she knows better than the instructor, the rsa, the gardai etc and continues to drive untested.
There really should be a limit imposed on how many times you can renew a provisional without evidence of taking lessons/applying for a test, after a certain amount of time it should be voided and you have to retake the theory test to get a new one.

Taking lifelong learning too literally
