ALERT !!! False driving advice circulating on social media….
This can get you banned before even getting your licence! Just because the waiting time for tests is horrendous it doesn’t mean you can break the Law!
We are aware of information circulating on social media about various driving practices, such as driving unaccompanied is acceptable!!
WAIT, This will be prosecuted under the offence ‘driving otherwise in accordance of your licence’ 6 points and a driving ban!
There is so much false information on social media which is not trustworthy. You should check whether information has come from an official source, like a government department or agency. Social media is toxic and when it comes to driving ‘ignorance of the law is no defence!’ The Police will prosecute!
You are required by law to only drive with a full licence holder who is over 21 years of age and have held their full licence for over 3 years.
When there are official changes to guidelines or practices, we will always post directly through our official channels.
