Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Issues Relating to Road Safety: Road Safety Authority

Mr. Brendan Walsh:

From my perspective, in other countries, if your lights are out of alignment, your vehicle would be grounded there and then. In Ireland, we do not do that. We give you the opportunity to take corrective action. Any of us who have driven in France know that, in the past, you used to put the patch over the lens. If you did not have that patch, your car was grounded until you got that patch put on it. Lighting is a very important part of vehicle safety.
