Opened the debate
Ms Lynch moved a Bill to regulate the renting of high-performance road vehicles, citing concerns over reckless driving and community safety. She highlighted that rental companies often do not ensure drivers are properly insured or trained, leading to dangerous driving incidents. The proposal includes fitting black boxes in cars with more than 300 horsepower and ensuring all drivers hiring such vehicles have proper insurance for the entire rental period.
