I looked at the various punishments related to this. There is the three-months automatic disqualification but in that same category, the minimum court punishment is six months. I wonder will more drivers chance going to court because it is either three months off the road or six months off the road. If one is off the road, one is off the road. It is something that should be factored in as an impact and it is not in the regulatory impact analysis. It should be in there.
