I will ask two quick questions. If one discovers, through the hand-held device, that somebody is disqualified, has a drink driving conviction and should not have a licence, what is the sanction? Can the car be taken from that person on the side of the road? I want to ask the Road Safety Authority whether or not one can restrict learner permits. The action plan refers to reducing the long-term reliance on multiple learner permits. Is that being implemented? Somebody cannot continue to get repeat learner permits.
