New penalty point proposals from the Transport Minister have been described as a knee-jerk reaction by a Tipperary TD.
Shane Ross wants points to be increased the more a motorist exceeds the speed limit.

There’s been a mixed reaction to Minister Shane Ross’s proposals to tackle speeding.
He wants a graduated system which would see more penalty points applied the more a driver exceeds the limit.
Motorists who are caught more than 30kph over the limit would face 7 penalty points.
However Deputy Mattie McGrath says the plans for variable fines are unworkable due to a lack of Garda numbers and resources.
