Opened the debate
Moves a Bill to make vehicle registration offences attract driving record penalty points. Emphasises that the Bill is not about targeting motorcyclists but improving road safety by increasing penalties for non-compliant number plates, thereby deterring antisocial behaviour on roads in rural areas. Cites examples of dangerous roads in Sussex and mentions an increase in police numbers under Operation Downsway. Argues that penalty points are a more effective deterrent than fines alone.
