One of the issues that has come up continually around the country is the flagrant abuse of road traffic incidents. I saw a recent case where there was a scooter on the M50, which is terribly dangerous. It was a dashcam that picked it up. I am sure that if there are cameras there, they need to be used in that respect.

It brings to mind one of the aspects of this where often it is the public who will alert someone to situations of that nature. Often there is not sufficient technology in place to be able to make these detections or to be able to use the evidence of that detection in the way it should have been used in the past. It is to be hoped this amendment to the Bill will do that.
