Deputy Matthews got to a few of those points ahead of me. It is important that we recognise the full power of citizen-led data gathering, notwithstanding the concerns around GDPR, which we have to take seriously. It seems to me there is an opportunity here to create, as other jurisdictions have done very effectively, a portal where citizens can upload evidence, whether it is admissible or not. As Deputy Matthews noted, there is value in uploading that kind of evidence to a central system and that value may go as far as taking action against individual motorists and road users. While it seems to fit in here and is something we should be seriously considering, it is not in the provisions of the Bill. Also not in the provisions is the possibility of doing what is done in other jurisdictions, namely, having cameras on buses to pick out the bad behaviour of motorists and other road users. That is something we should also try to get into this important legislation.
