Road Safety: Motion.
All those involved in road safety and all responsible citizens have welcomed the introduction of the penalty points system for speeding. It is still early days and there are teething problems, which are being overcome, but the success of penalty points to date is evidenced by the number of lives saved and injuries averted. While this reduction is welcome, we must not lose sight of the families still being devastated by the loss of a loved one. I encourage all those involved to continue their good work in this area and not lose momentum for this reason.
