As from next week no provisional drivers are allowed on the roads ( Ireland) without an qualified driver of two years , how will this law work , we know its for the good but it just isn't practical.

this is how it is here (UK), has been forever. it will take some getting used to for you all but ultimately it means all learner drivers will want to pass a test, so they can go out alone. therefore they will learn to drive to the required standard, so hopefully your roads will be populated by better drivers

so it should be. this works just fine in the uk and gives the leaner more confidence behind the wheel.
of corse it is practical is is more safer, only someone has to give a little more time, hence why we arrange for driving instructors. The insurance over in Ireland must be astonomical for you it will make the preimiums go down if this is the case

Well in England the person supervising needs to have held a full licence for the catergory of the vehicle for 3 years. It does work.
It means all driving instructors have to have their licence for a minimum of 3 years.

sure they've been saying that for years-once u were on your 2nd provisional you were meant to have a driver with you. i never ever got told to by the guards when i got stopped for checking tax and things like that even if they saw my provisional license. and i still cant see them forcing it too much

this works in the U K so l don't see how it is a problem in Ireland. l started to learn to drive in Ireland and anything that improves driving standards can't be wrong...

PRACTICAL? FROM WHOSE STANDPOINT?
IF IT WAS NOT PRACTICAL THEY WOULD NOT HAVE IMPLEMENTED IT.
IN THE US, I HAD TO HAVE A DRIVER WITH A LICENSE AT THE TIME I LEARNED.(1963)
I THINK IS GOOD BECAUSE YOU HAVE SOMEONE TO TUTOR YOU AS YOU LEARN. HOPEFULLY YOU WILL PICK UP GOOD POINTS FROM THIS DRIVER.
