When one speaks to people in terms of overall fatalities, speed is the ultimate killer here.
We do not seem to be tackling that with a similar zero-tolerance approach, even though it is a bigger killer. That is the point I am making. I am not condoning one over the other or saying one is less important in terms of the lives lost, I am just asking if the Minister's approach should not be to look at the biggest killer on our roads and tackle that? That does not seem to have been examined.
