I am conscious the Minister was adamant that the punishment for drivers in the 50 mg to 80 mg category needs to increase but I wonder was there any consideration given in the regulatory impact analysis to increasing the penalty points. It is three penalty points at present. Would the Minister consider increasing it to something like six points or eight points and, therefore, trying to reduce the court issue? Is that something that was considered at all?
