Where a person does not fulfil the conditions attaching to a provisional licence the offence is driving without a licence which is one of the offences in the First Schedule to the Road Traffic Act, 2002. It is proposed in the Road Traffic Bill, 2006 to amend the penalty points attaching to such an offence. The commencement of this provision will be considered in due course following enactment of the Bill.
