The Minister for Transport Shane Ross has said he will review a number of proposals that will see motorists receive harsher punishments for dangerous driving.
Mr Ross who recently said he is determined to see Irish roads being made more safe for users, will reportedly review a number of proposals being introduced in the UK including more penalty points being handed out to those who user their mobile device whilst driving.
Mr Ross said: “To see how they’re going, and we will change them if necessary”.
“I have no problem in increasing penalty points if I thought it was necessary. It’s because there is human life involved.”
“It’s a bit different from going around stealing things – it’s killing people”. “Anything that is sensible we will consider it.”
