Text

Thank you. Driver behaviour and, in particular, speed is the biggest cause of deaths on our roads. Minister, the current legislation is restrictive with regard to speed reductions on busy rural roads, and that urgently needs to be addressed. I welcome what the Minister said, but will she, please, indicate when we will see progress on the issue to ensure that fewer lives are lost on our roads?
