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.

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.
