The Government is generally satisfied with the

effectiveness of the system, particularly in making those

drivers incurring penalty points much more cautious in their

driving standards and behaviour to avoid incurring further

points. This is clearly borne out by the fact that of the

A

per

117,655 drivers who have incurred penalty points since the ber cent beginning of the scheme, only 2,011 drivers or 1.7 have been

disqualified, as mentioned earlier. The Government therefore

considers that while the scheme is being and will continue to

be closely monitored, there is no need at present to conduct

a full review.
