Issues Relating to Road Safety: Road Safety Authority
Mr. Michael Rowland:
Regarding the specific question on the EDT lessons, the Deputy is right that there are 12 compulsory lessons. Our advice has always been that in between each compulsory lesson, learners should either be working with their sponsor or their approved driving instructor. For each compulsory lesson learners have, they should have a further three lessons. In essence, we recommend 48 lessons rather than the 12 EDT lessons.
