John Cregan
Question:205 Mr. Cregan asked the Minister for Transport the position with regard to the penalty points system for speeding; if points are issued for a speeding offence whether it is two or three miles over the limit or 20 or 25; if a graduated penalty is or should be in existence; when an offence is put on one's record; the reason it does not take effect from the date of the offence as currently it appears to be four or five months later; and if no consideration is given to motorists with a previously clean record.
