Irish leaner and novice drivers are being warned of a lesser-known law that can see new drivers banned from the road for a minimum of six months.
Those driving with an ‘L’ or ‘N’ sticker on their vehicle are reminded that if they receive 7 penalty points in a 3-year period they face disqualification.
There is sometimes confusion over this rule because fully licensed drivers are subject to a higher threshold of 12 points in 3 years before they face a six-month disqualification.
