Public Accounts Committee
2012 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 7 - Management of Fixed Charge Notice System
12:20 pm
Mr. Martin Callinan:
All I can tell the Deputy in the context of the company summonses issues is that we will continue. However, there is a section in the Road Traffic Act I mentioned earlier on - it is 103, I think - where there is an obligation on whoever has the vehicle registered to indicate to us who was driving. There are all sorts of legal issues around this, but we would hope to be as proactive as we possibly can in extracting that information, which is the only way we can impose penalty points because these cases have successfully been challenged in the courts.
