A learner permit is a licence issued to learner drivers. It enables them to learn to drive and to apply for a driving test six months after date of issue. The learner permit replaces the provisional licence, which is no longer issued.
Further important changes to the licensing regime came into force on 1 July 2008. The most significant of these is that as a holder of a learner permit you must:

• Hold a licence for the category of vehicle you are driving and comply with the conditions attached to that licence when driving
• Be accompanied at all times by a person who holds a full driving licence in the same category for a continuous period of two years (this applies to categories B, EB, C1, C, D1, D, EC, EC1, ED & ED1)

In addition, a number of penal offences have been introduced for learner drivers. These include driving unaccompanied (see above), not displaying ‘L’ plates when driving, and the carrying of a passenger by a learner motorcyclist.
These offences are punishable by a minimum €1,000 fine for a first offence.
