Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

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

9:00 am

Ms Moyagh Murdock:

The legal system in this country would have to look at that and decide whether there should be automatic disqualification for speeding. The offence is an automatic disqualification for driving so dangerously that it warrants disqualification. That is a separate issue. Speeding offences involve different pieces of legislation. Some could be driving causing death or driving dangerously but there is no specific offence where people drove so fast that they were disqualified.
