I heard the other day an 'L' driver got stopped, on their 1st provisional, got €1000 fine and fined €880 for no 'L' plates up. They also got spotted for driving above the speed limit! Ouch!
Also agree with OneD, there's a Mondeo only over the road from me on GB plates well over a year, and has nearly wiped me off the road more than once! Nothings being done there.
The Gardai, are allowed use their disgression in certain respects, as in if a test is pending, say the following week. So i'll be interesting to see how things work out.. if it means less deaths and less boy racers challenging me at lights I'm up for that!
We all had to learn!! Sinead.. I've been there!
