In a sense, Mr. O'Brien appears to be arguing strongly for greater Garda involvement in the detection of speeding. Can Mr. O'Brien comment on the other matter that emerged in news reports about the inaccuracy of some of the GoSafe cameras whereby if they were not set up correctly, they were not actually monitoring the speeds correctly? Was this also a problem for the Garda?

Moreover, in order that I am not obliged to come in again, I am interested that Mr. O'Brien referred to Victoria because I actually have driven in that state and whatever effect the police have in Victoria, if the speed limit is 100 km/h, people do not cross that speed limit. Even if they are out in a very rural place, they chug along at 100 km/h, even if there is not a car or anything else in sight. I recall visiting a very remote town in which I had relatives and saying I supposed there would not be that many checks around there. I was told not to assume that at all.
