No. 13 of 2001Road Traffic Bill 2001
Public bill · Government · Presented
Introduces a penalty-points system for minor driving offences: points remain for three years, with 12 points bringing an automatic six-month driving ban. It also allows breath tests after accidents or suspected road offences, recognises certain driving bans imposed elsewhere in the EU, strengthens fines and camera evidence, and gives local authorities greater control over taxi stands, bus stops and environmentally focused traffic measures.
