Mr. Sam Waide:
One of the actions in the strategy, and we are about to share the recommendation with the Department of Transport and the partnership board, is speed awareness. The Cathaoirleach mentioned England. It is about education but it is about educating people who should know better. They are not in school. The highest number of people who cause collisions are in their 30s, 40s and 50s. The recommendation is for a speed awareness course. Other jurisdictions have adopted this. Rather than giving people a fine and penalty points, they are given a fine but must attend a speed awareness course.
