Proceeding contribution from Earl Attlee (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 17 October 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Road Safety Bill [HL].


Road Safety Bill [HL]

I regret that I have identified another difficulty with having a mandatory six points. Let us suppose that I have fouled up and not told the authorities who was driving the vehicle and I collect six points. I would automatically fight like hell in the courts. If I was only going to get three points, I would take the rap, but at six points I could not afford to be half-way towards losing my driving licence.
