Written Answers. - Road Traffic Offences.
A list of traffic offences for which fine-on-the-spot notices are currently issued is set out as follows. The Deputy will see that this includes seat belt infringements.
Any amendments to this list would be a matter for my colleague, Deputy Seamus Brennan, Minister for Transport, whose Department is responsible for road traffic legislation.
