Could Ms Murdock provide us with two specific areas of information? They are the numbers of people who lose their licences for accumulating the total number of penalty points and data regarding people who are disqualified from driving for a single speeding offence, for example, if someone gets clocked driving up the motorway at 100 km/h, is taken to court and disqualified. Could Ms Murdock give us the available figures? It is important that we would have them because there is a strong feeling among members of the public that not enough is being done to tackle serious speeding, which is a major killer, and that people can do it far more often than drink driving. I am not condoning any of them. I am just talking about what the public perception is. The public perception is that someone has a better chance of getting away with speeding than of getting away with drink driving.
