So Martin Cullen has announced the long-awaited list of new penalty points. Let's hope they have the same impact as those that were introduced two years ago. For me personally, these type of measures come 13 years to-the-day too late - but that's another story.

The AA have said that the new penalty point offences merely ink on paper unless they are enforced. These measures can only be seen as something to be embraced. It really concerns me when I hear of people saying that driving rules are introduced merely as another means for harassing the motorist. The Gardai are not the enemy when it comes to penalty points, dangerous driving is.
