Clause 9 - Unlicensed and foreign drivers
Road Safety Bill [Lords]
9:45 am
Stephen Hammond (Shadow Minister, Transport; Wimbledon, Conservative)
That certainly addresses the point I was trying to reach with my third group of points about proposed new section 57A. I understand that clause 11 will be helpful, as it will enable the taking of the fixed penalty deposit. It will cover that circumstance, and I just wanted to clarify as much.
The Minister has not clarified—I am sure he will do so quickly—the provision in proposed new section 44A, which states:
“endorsement of a person’s driving record with any particulars or penalty points”.
Will he confirm that the particulars are fines, custodial sentences, anything that the magistrate or court might say and any courses attended as reparation for or for making good someone’s driving habit? Is that what particulars means?
