This is a straightforward fact. The fact is that a District Court judge issues an order that someone has to surrender their licence. We should be able to measure exactly what is handed in on that day and exactly what is not. It is the job of the Courts Service to ensure that we have the data to enable us to make decisions and legislative change if that is required.
I have major concerns in three instances, namely, the poor box, the collection rate of fines and the issue of disqualified drivers' licences.
