On the bottom one, at 75%, "Non-specified drivers (80 mg to 100 mg)", the other 25% decide to go to court.

It is interesting that the middle table, the 50 mg to 80 mg where we have the highest rate, only 18% decide to go to court. This is what we are proposing to change now. That is the only one where there is not an automatic disqualification.

The question I want to get to is this. If we look, on the overleaf on Appendix 2, in terms of impacts, at the options, under item 3, there is no reference to impacts of an increase in court appearance, but looking at where one has automatic disqualification as distinct from the penalty points and fine issue, one has far lower payment rates. Would one anticipate that there would be higher numbers of court cases as a result of the change in law?
