New figures from the Clare and Tipperary Garda division show a worrying 22.7% rise in the number of unaccompanied learner drivers caught on our roads—up from 322 cases in 2024 to 395 in 2025. The increase has sparked fresh concerns about road safety, enforcement, and awareness among both young drivers and their families.
