MEP calls for a novice driver curfew and the roll out of AI cameras that fine people who use their phone or don’t wear a seatbelt

Fianna Fáil MEP Cynthia Ní Mhurchú is calling for the introduction of stricter measures aimed at improving road safety, including a potential night-time curfew for novice drivers and the use of AI-enabled cameras to detect mobile phone use and seatbelt offences.She says road safety figures are moving in the wrong direction, with young drivers particularly at risk during night-time hours, although she stresses that any curfew would need to include exemptions for those travelling for work.
