Seanad debates

Wednesday, 12 March 2003

We need to be more vigilant in relation to the effects of the penalty points system. After the initial furore about the system, traffic speeded up again. It has been noticeably slower in the past few days because of heightened publicity following the Garda report and discussions with the Minister. We need to hammer home the message that speeding kills, time and again. If you speed, you will be caught and penalty points will be applied. That is what is frightening motorists and encouraging them to slow down.
