L-drivers show how smokers lost their way

WEREN’T smokers right idiots to heed the smoking ban legislation.

Had they come together and continued their unhealthy habit in public premises, they would have been safe from prosecution— just like the 90,000 L-drivers on second provisional licences who drive unaccompanied by the holder of a full licence.

Well that’s how it seems now following a garda spokesman’s admission on radio that they will not be cracking down on unaccompanied L-drivers as the courts could not cope with the numbers. Strange comment. I would have thought it was not the responsibility of the gardaí to worry about the ability of the courts to conduct their business.
