They are relevant to this amendment. Instead of suggesting that these people be put off the road and kept from driving, why was a curfew not imposed on them, from early morning until evening so that they could get to work, apprenticeships, colleges or to their work experience placements? Why did we not think of the box-clever system, where a little black box can be fitted to a car which can monitor the amount of kilometres a person has driven and the speed at which the car was driven?

The thing was out of sight and had complete control and knowledge of the system. It would have to be handed in to be monitored, but if somebody was monitoring, he or she could have checked if the driver had blackguarded or done anything wrong in the course of driving. That system is available and many insurance companies use it.
