Cred ca o sa fie mai putin trafic de marti dimineata :), si se pare ca nu e de gluma...
from midnight next Monday:
l Learner permits will replace provisional licences. The same restrictions will apply to those 420,000 on provisional licences as those on the new learner permits. When your provisional licence expires you will switch over to a permit.
l Drivers getting a new learner permit or those on provisional licences must, from next Tuesday, be accompanied by and under the supervision of a person who has a full driving licence for a minimum period of two years at all times. This removes the loophole that those on a second provisional licence can drive unaccompanied.
l The accompanying driver must carry their driving licence. Failure to comply will be a penalty point offence for the accompanying driver
l From December next, a person can not apply for a driving test for six months after getting a learner permit. This is so that they have this minimum period of supervised accompanied driving experience when applying.
l From December, learner motorcyclists must display an L plate.
l Consideration will be given to applying a restricted engine capacity to the cars of learner drivers. This will apply to motorcyclists with a learner permit and for the first two years of a driving licence.
l Reduced speed limit for learner drivers.
l A learner permit holder will be put off the road after accruing six penalty points. This will also apply for two years after getting a full licence.
l Zero alcohol limit for learner drivers while holding a learner permit licence and during the first two years of holding a driving licence.
l Drivers who pass the driving test must display R -- for restricted -- plates during the first two years of holding a driving licence.
l Failure by a learner motorcyclist to comply with the prohibition on carrying a passenger will be a criminal offence
l Mandatory tuition will be a requirement for all learner drivers. Part of the tuition will be taken with a professional instructor. Learner drivers will have to hold and complete a logbook detailing their tuition.
l Long-term learner drivers must take the driving test and will not be allowed to apply for a further permit without taking a test.
