Jackson Lam on Road Traffic (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill
The success of a new bill to improve road safety must be measured not by the number of summonses issued, but whether it changes driver behaviour. The public should also be given a fair chance to understand the new rules before full enforcement begins. MP Jackson Lam said this in parliament on Tuesday (Aug 4). He called for a strong public education campaign and a clearly communicated transition period where first-time offenders are given warnings. He also asked how new automated enforcement systems will be monitored and if data will be published on notices issued then revoked after human review.
