It was recently reported that the working group on efficiency measures in the criminal justice system recommended that to ease the burden on the courts unpaid road traffic fines could be added to motor tax bills. According to the information I have, currently approximately 71% of District Court business is taken up with road traffic offences. Does the Commissioner have an opinion on that recommendation and does he see any merit in it?
