Uncertainty over how changes will be enforced

TRAFFIC Garda sources have expressed concern as to how the sudden changes to the law on second provisional licence holders will be enforced.

A number of sources have admitted they did not know what they were going to do until they saw the directive from Garda headquarters. There was some confusion yesterday as to whether the directive had been issued, but sources told the Irish Examiner no directive had yet been sent out.

“A copy of the commencement order has been issued, but no directive from Garda Headquarters has been issued,” said one senior source.
