Road Safety Bill [HL]

We are not contemplating compensation. Individuals may purchase equipment that subsequently contravenes the law—one may purchase a tyre with an original specification that is within the law and we then change the law on tyres and it no longer is. That is the rub of the green with the law, so we cannot have a vast compensation scheme from government for those who have been technically equipped. The devices are purchased by members of the Committee and by many other good people with the sole intention of making them better drivers. One or two of our fellow citizens may buy such devices to detect where law enforcement goes on in order to be poorer drivers and drive with impunity the rest of the time.
