Not to wear a seat belt is a choice, too. I believe the figure we got is that 25% of fatalities were not wearing a seat belt. That is not that 25% of drivers are wearing seatbelts; it is 25% of fatalities. That is a staggering statistic. I will not take up any more time for now as I am conscious we have other members to come in. If there is a chance, I will come back in. I could probably talk for an hour on this. Most of us here could talk for an hour but we need to share the time. I thank Mr. Drew and Ms Hilman. I also thank every member of An Garda Síochána who is doing the work every day in road safety, and in all the other things they do.
