Seanad debates

Wednesday, 14 May 2003

In relation to driver attitudes and competence, there has been a cultural change. Changes in the driving test, including the introduction of a written theory test, have to some degree improved matters, although more needs to be done. I agree with the suggestion that the teaching of driving skills could at some stage form part of the school curriculum. As part of transition year, teenagers could possibly be introduced to the rules of the road. While they do not necessarily need to be driving, they could be made aware of the responsibilities they will face when they begin to drive.
