Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Road Safety Bill [Lords].
Road Safety Bill [Lords]
I agree with much of what the hon. Gentleman has been saying so far. He talks about improving the Bill and refers to road traffic accidents reaching a plateau. We are now getting down to a hard core of a small number of persistent offenders. Some people are very bad drivers. Will he therefore suggest to the Government that they could get to that core group by imposing on those drivers longer and more frequent driving bans—possibly even lifetime bans—rather than financial penalties?
