General Scheme of Road Traffic (Fixed Penalty - Drink Driving) Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed)

9:00 am

Ms Moyagh Murdock:

We are currently researching that. Certainly, we see a number of people re-offending for different types of offences. The difficulty we have establishing a trend is that after three years, one's penalty points are expunged. We do not have information on people who received penalty points prior to 2014. It is very difficult to say that. There is also data protection. One has one's penalty points but after three years they are expunged and there is no trend.
