If the owner of a vehicle allows a learner driver to drive their vehicle, what is the maximum fine they could face?

When a vehicle owner permits a learner driver to operate their vehicle without the required supervision or proper licensing, they are breaking the law, which can result in significant penalties. The maximum fine for allowing an unlicensed or improperly supervised driver to drive the vehicle is set at €1,000. This fine reflects the seriousness of the offense, as allowing a learner driver to drive without appropriate guidance can pose safety risks not only to the driver but also to other road users.

This framework of penalties is designed to encourage vehicle owners to take responsibility for who they allow to operate their vehicles, ensuring compliance with the legal requirements surrounding learner drivers and promoting road safety.
