To be fair, if the Minister of State does not mind, for the benefit of everybody, including me, it is actually a relatively targeted review. It is not a comprehensive review of all road traffic legislation ever. It targets the penalty points regime. At the moment, the fine can be doubled but the penalty points cannot. It is giving the ability to change penalty points without primary legislation and secondary legislation. It is providing for mandatory drug testing, which I think we all welcome.
