Off Topic but....
Even though i did it myself. This country really needs to sort out this Driving on provisionals. Any prat can get into a car over here with no understand of a car or rules of the road. All u need to get one is to answer 35 out of 40 multipul choose questions right and they will give u one.
And whats worse even if u fail ur test ur still allowed to continue driving.

A long shot but maybe try track down the garda who pulled you and explain that Cars are what keeps you out off trouble, encourage you to work hard and the reason you can't afford to get blind drunk and make a neusense of yourself every night! so It's the lesser of the evils!
or if you do end up in court, speek to the gaurd and plead your case! It does work! My Da got stopped after overtaking where he should not have and proceeded at speed though a series of round abouts! And the tax was out by a few months! When he went to court about it he got chatting to the gaurd and he only mentioned the tax to the judge and he had aalready back taxed the car so the judge let him off scott free!!
Dan
I myself had 10 points till recently! All for speeding and i deserved every one, I "only" have 6 now
If I didn't wear my seat belt I'd fall out of the seat! and those bluetooth ear peice things are great and cheap!
best of luck either way man

i think our license system is great!!! i failed my driving test the first time i did it and was allowed to drive home by myself only in ireland could this happen :lol: it would be a great country if we could only roof it :drunk: :lol: :lol:
[/quote]
I think it's a complete joke to be honest, not only do they need to change the law, but they need to pull their finger out their A$$ and do something about the length of time it takes an individual from booking the drivers to actually doing the driving test. If the laws dont change, and the time it takes from booking to completing the driving license dont decrease Im sorry to say, but the deaths will keep increasing and they can do nothing about it, but look at themselves.
I strongly suggest they should introduce different levels of the driving certificate so one would need to pass multiple tests to qualify to driver fast, more powerful cars. You cant take someone who has never driven, and hand them an STI prime example of the two lads yesterday morning. If you dont know how to handle the power of the car, the car is going to spit you out, fact.
I dont know why insurance companies dont offer reduced rates if drivers complete advanced driving courses. Not only does it teach the driver how to handle the car, but it teaches them what to look out for on the roads, and how to react in any situation you find yourself in.

i'm sorry to say i don't agree.
wat people fail to realise that did you know that in 1977 there were 650 deaths on the road per annum versus 350 todays total...... so massive decrease versus massive increase to raod traffic, its the media that has us thinking this way....... every death is absolutely tragic. course it is but in reality with amount of moving machinery a day there has be an acceptable number of deaths as weird as it sounds...................

Right Paul, a balls i know but not the end of the world.
1. a fine
2. 2 points & a fine
3. 2 points & a fine
4. a fine (judge maybe lenient on this !)
5. a fine
Points (2&3): you will get 4 points (just pay the 80 fines) you'll get these in the next 2/3weeks .....end of !!
Points (1,4,5): Summons to court and a fine,
The Garda may just decide to send you the points but normally he would tell ya before he left
Niall.
The reason why they are not too quick to change the provisional licence system is that the second hand car market would die. Where would all the 1990-1996 Micras and Civics go. It seems that most provisional licence holders buy this type of car and hope that when they do get a full licence then they car move up the years and power of the car.
Anyway, PaulV4, it was a stupid thing to do but I hope you get away with it.

In 1977 - fair enough, but with the technology and safety standards in cars of today, you should notice a decrease in vehicle deaths on the roads. How many of those 650 vs 350 are deaths casued within the vehicle and deaths caused by vehicles (ie: Hitting an individual crossing the street, etc.). And how many of those deaths in 1977 were caused my vehicles - I'd say most were caused by horse and(or) cart.

Hibernian do an ignition course for 1.6 or lower, im insured with them because of this course, i got 20 percent off my insurance when i did it.

I'd say that's just a mistake in Paul V4's post.........he was on the M50, so deffo a motorway (or a big carpark depending on your point of view ).
Duel carriageways are fine for L drivers

:lol:
I may be the only member here who was driving in 1977 (?), but from what I remember there weren't too many horses and carts on the roads by that stage, though I did see an ass-cart as late as (about) 1990. (It was driven by an old lady who was turning it on the Square in Listowel and holding up a juggernaut - the new Ireland meeting the old!)
But the state of some of the cars around at the time was another story - I was a passenger in one in Connemara that had a hole in the floor, and lots of other places too, but that wasn't too unusual.
