- Learning to Drive Irish Style
[Automotive] The long overdue overhaul to the Irish Learner Driver non-system is due to take place in 2007. By the time some new regulations are in place there will be more needless deaths on Irish roads.
The common practise of buying a car, sitting and failing the Driving Test several times and then taking Driving Lessons is about to come to an end.

Each and every driver can also play a part in improving the worst Learner Driver System in the developed world.
- The Irish Driving Test:Eco Techniques Around the Corner
[Automotive] Eco Driving techniques aren't something just dreamed up.

- The Driving Test in Ireland... Fact or Fiction? An Instructors View
[Automotive] Things are changing in Ireland in the ratified Atmosphere of Driving, Learning to Drive and the Irish Driving Test. Change is long overdue...why even the Rules of the Road publication which lays out basic Road Regulations and requirements was last written in 1995.The time elapsed since 1995 and 2006 has seen the most far reaching changes to the Irish Driving Environment that have ever been witnessed since the first motor vehicles shattered the tranquil countryside about a Century ago.

- Passing Your Driving Test First Time - How about Starting with Parents
[Automotive] With the never ending spiral of death and destruction on the roads worldwide it is about time that Parents take responsibilty for the early skills that need to be imparted to their children when Driving.

Why not apportion the blame to each new generation of Boy Racers and just accept that the inevitable cannot be averted?

- The Irish Driving Test Technical Checks - an Introduction
[Automotive] One of the more useful additions to the Irish Driving Test in recent years has been the introduction of Technical Checks.

- The Destruction Left by Motor Accidents—The True Cost!
[Automotive] In Ireland we have the best performing Economy in the whole of Europe.
