In Ireland, 43% of Learner Drivers practice unaccompanied, leading to an average of 10-12 fatal road collisions amongst this cohort annually.
This dissertation examined and investigated the Learner Driving process currently established in Ireland with a view to evaluating its effectiveness.
As part of the EDT programme in Ireland, learner drivers are recommended to undertake 36 hours of supervised driving. There is no requirement to log these hours currently unlike international best practice where supervised training hours are logged. When learner driver practice hours are required to be logged in Ireland, there will be a cohort of drivers who are unable to access a vehicle or sponsor for on-road driving practice.

Fatalities arising from road crashes are unacceptable, however, it appears that society has accepted fatalities arising from road crashes as inevitable. While road traffic crashes may be an everyday occurrence, they are both predictable and preventable.
The goal of my research is to quantify, classify and identify the reasons why road crashes happen and develop a next steps approach to those fully licences drivers who break existing road traffic legislation in Ireland.

This initiative highlights the dangers of speeding with an aim of increasing compliance with speed limits, deterring motorists from driving at excessive or inappropriate speed and ultimately reducing the number of serious road traffic collisions this Christmas and New Year period in particular. To date, 156 people have lost their lives on Irish roads this year. This is 28 more than on this day last year. There has been some 1,172 serious collisions resulting in injury, often life altering.
