I suggest that it would be helpful for someone to report a near miss and for it to be recorded somewhere centrally. If I ring Bray Garda Station to say that someone has nearly run me off the Dublin Road on my bike, it can be properly recorded in Bray Garda Station. However, if that happened in Wexford, Cork or Limerick, is there a central point whereby we say, “this year we had 15,000 near misses reported”? We should record the locations and build up a pattern. It is only about building up----
