60. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if there are any rules governing the use of roads by driving instruction companies to avoid unreasonable disruption or to avoid risks to public safety; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29939/23]

I understand that there are no specific restrictions on driving instruction companies or self-employed driving instructors in relation to what roads they may use during the course of giving driving lessons. When an instructor and a learner are on the road they are legally speaking in the same position as all other road users. As such, they are subject to the full range of road traffic law, whose principal object is the safety of all road users.
