8th March 2018 - PARC backs 'Clancy Amendment' on RTE Prime Time Debate.
Unaccompanied Learner Drivers
PARC members, many who have lost one or more members of their family in crashes involving an unaccompanied learner driver have successfully campaigned for stronger learner driver laws.
The most recent campaign was led by Noel Clancy of PARC after his wife Geraldine and daughter Louise were killed by an unaccompanied learner driver in a RTC on the 22nd December 2015. The 'Clancy Amendment' - to make the owners of vehicles liable if they allow a learner permit holder to drive their vehicle unaccompanied, was included in the Road Traffic Act 2016 but has yet to be commenced by the Minister for Transport Shane Ross. The inquest jury into their deaths also accepted a recommendation put forward by the Clancy family calling on the Transport Minister to give Gardaí the power to seize a vehicle driven by an unaccompanied learner driver. Minister Ross accepted this proposal submitted by Independent TD Tommy Broughan.
