lpv:spoken text	"I welcome this directive and expect that it will have a deterrent effect on driver behaviour, as drivers will know they are not exempt from driving safety laws across Europe. The consistent enforcement of penalties for traffic offences is an important element in improving road safety. Financial penalties for certain road traffic offences are often not enforced if those offences are committed in a vehicle registered outside the State. EU figures also suggest a non-resident driver is three times more likely to commit an offence than a resident driver. Also, while foreign drivers account for 5% of traffic, they account for 15% of speeding offences. While Ireland is not automatically bound by legislation enacted in the area of freedom, security and justice, the Irish Government has indicated it will give careful consideration to opting into this directive."@en1
