Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Road Safety Strategy: Discussion (Resumed)

11:00 am

Mr. John Wilson:

Reference was made to speeding and mobile telephone use. It is my understanding that the fixed charge notice for speeding is still €80 regardless of whether the driver is doing 5 km/h over the 80 km/h speed limit or 160 km/h in a 120 km/h zone. The fine is still €80. I believe that must change. A graded system should be introduced whereby if an individual is doing 150 km/h in a 120 km/h zone, there should be a €300 or €400 fixed charge notice and six penalty points.
