I wish to refer the Deputy to the following table which details the number of persons convicted under the Road Traffic Acts by District Court Area. The table also provides information on the number of persons convicted where a driving licence number was recorded and the number of persons convicted of a penalty point offence where a driving licence number was recorded. I am informed by the Courts Service that, where a driving licence number is recorded and the accused is convicted, the licence number and details of the conviction are forwarded to the appropriate authority.
While almost 80% of road traffic infringements are dealt with via Fixed Charge Notices (FCNs) without recourse to court, the application of Court-awarded penalty points to driving licences remains a priority for the Criminal Justice Fixed Charge Processing System (FCPS) Working Group. In this context consideration is now being given by the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport to the establishment of a ‘master driver licence record’ which will assist by better linking vehicle and driver databases, thereby facilitating the application of penalty points to driving licences.
