Road traffic legislation is one of the most heavily litigated areas of the law and that is precisely why we must be so careful about it. I would love to give the Senator that assurance but cannot. It is the job of my officials, of me as Minister, and of Members of both Houses to ensure there are no loopholes. Those are the four locks and one hopes they all work. Unfortunately, there will be loopholes. The point is pertinent, however, because the following amendment closes a loophole that has arisen in recent times.
