Laws should only be passed where they don't inconvenience anyone

Hold on, if she's now saying the DPP is looking at the evidence she's gathered, then the matter is sub-judice, surely?
She's in the process of blowing her case out of the water, by a sharp barrister.

It's interesting how quickly the sub judice rule goes out the window when it's JNLR gold and the Accused probably isn't a wealthy financier with a litigious bent, or some highly-paid public official with his own SC steadily taking notes.

Have no sympathy for the Accused guy here, but the same rule should apply to everyone.

Oh good. A fool.

"Socialise" usually means go drinking in RTE speak.

Dan Jaman

It's been exactly this way in the UK for decades.
Normally, a lad would get a 250 (later, 125) bike and simply commute to work on that.
No problem, everybody just does it.

There's a LL APB out for Michael Healey Rae.

Duffy just doesn't understand the reality of rural Ireland. He doesn't even understand public transport in Dublin but assumes it's like that everywhere.

I have some sympathy but I am still a relatively young man and I have 3 school /work mates killed in accidents and at least 3 or 4 very seriously injured. These rules are for the best.

The accident blow by blow !

Wait until some 16 year old driving a John Deere with a huge trailer of silage on the back kills somebody and see if they change the law then.

Dan Jaman

Man's a total gobshyte.
If his lad is too soft to put a bike on the road, he can just tough it out.

You can drive and NOT DRINK.

To be fair, the lads around here driving the tractors/trailers are quite on the ball.

Electric bikes are an option, they’re fairly speedy

Inconvenience trumping the law. Amazing.

There are advantages and disadvantages to living in rural Ireland and in cities. I'm from the countryside, and tbh it seems from a quick online search that the waiting times for driving tests are consistently exaggerated.

I suspect the problem is more that people are failing their tests and then continuing to drive.

It was very inconvenient as there was a big queue at the shop. So I massacred the lot of them.

My point is a 16 year old can drive a tractor and trailer on his own. But a 30 year old learner driver cannot drive a Ford Fiesta on his own.

This is the country we live in folks.

Who is going to police all this Genius?

Three lessons, great off ya go. Should be same for pilots’ license etc

Dan Jaman

Get your lad on a bike, learn about the road, then put a car on the road and do some lessons, same as everybody else.

BarryD2

The chap makes a valid point. It's all very well bringing in new laws but if they can't be implemented by ordinary people, then the law becomes an ass. Things have changed a lot since I did the driving test, now everyone has to do 12 lessons and learn under supervision. No reason why learners couldn't be permitted to drive unaccompanied when they've reached a certain standard and under certain conditions.

More lads get killed off motorbikes than any other group.

Isnt that called passing the test?

joe316

Why not do a driving test after 3 pints? If these slack jawed yokels pass one then they can drive to ‘stay part of the community’....


Although has anyone asked why do they need to have a pint? Do they have to drink?

This is coming from someone who likes the odd pint but can live without one for weeks/months on end.

The farming lobby will fight any change to that tooth and nail.
It will be interesting to see the figures for 16 year olds and tractor accidents.

Giving out about too many rules by introducing about a thousand new, unenforceable rules. Good one caller.

If the shop was in rural Ireland, you'd be absolutely entitled to do that!
