New laws for unaccompanied drivers are punishing those who cannot get a date for their driving test in Sligo.
That’s according to a local Sligo Fine Gael activist, who says the Minister for Transport is demoralising driver moral by introducing new legislation aimed at tackling unaccompanied drivers.
These new provisions now make it an offence for the owner of a vehicle to knowingly allow an unaccompanied learner or an unlicensed person to drive his or her vehicle.
Mr Blaine Gaffney says Minister Shane Ross is doing nothing to ensure there is enough staff in place at Ireland’s driving test centres.
