I support what my colleagues have said. I will be interested to hear the Minister's rationale for rejecting the amendment. It is a very worthwhile amendment. Unfortunately, there is a family in the Gallery who require this, having suffered an unimaginable tragedy, a fatality because of the lack of such an amendment. As I said at the outset, the reason we have Committee and Report Stages is so we can bring forward amendments to improve and enhance the quality of Bills. The Bill is about improving and enhancing road safety and the amendment would go a long way in this regard.
