Learner driver loses damages claim against Dublin Bus

An unaccompanied learner driver, who for no apparent reason “stood on her brakes” at a green traffic light, has lost a €38,000 damages claim against Dublin Bus.

Bukola Balogun, a 35-year-old mother of two, told the Circuit Civil Court today that when she stopped at what she claimed was a red light, she had been rear-ended by a double decker bus.
