We cannot lecture or congratulate ourselves on road safety and not tackle some of these issues. Some 300,000 drivers hold only provisional licences. I received a call from a Member of the Dáil at the height of the debate on provisional licences stating that a constituent who, for 12 years, had an important job in the factory five or six miles down the road could not put up with my silly ideas in regard to limiting the number of provisional licences a person could obtain. I was told that such a provision would interfere with the man's job. On reviewing the case, I discovered the person concerned had held a provisional licence for 12 years, had only applied for one test and had duly failed it because he had not taken any instruction. That person held down a job which required a significant degree of intelligence and could easily have applied himself to obtaining instruction and passing the test. It begs the question that has been put to me many times, namely, "What if I fail the test five times, how do I get to work?" A person who fails the test five times should not be permitted to drive.
