I forgot to make this point. If a person is driving with a wagon in England, if the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency, VOSA, goes through their vehicle and sees a crack in a leaf spring the driver will be given a piece of paper saying that it has to be repaired in 14 days. In Ireland, it is a low loader. We have to think of businesses as well. We must engage common sense in what we are doing. Are we looking at what VOSA does in England?
