Government to Decide on Proposals for Lower Speed Limits
The legislation would see default limits come into force, meaning for example a 30 km/h limit would apply in built up areas.
The laws would also make drug testing mandatory at the scene of a serious collision.
The legislation would also allow for the application of multiple penalty points in a single stop when more than one offence is committed.
There were also plans to have higher penalty points on Bank Holiday Weekends but that's not happening for now as the proposed laws need more scrutiny.
The Junior Transport Minister will bring the proposed laws in a bid to reduce road deaths and serious injuries.
The Cabinet is expected to approve the bill.
178 people have been killed on our roads so far this year - 23 more than last year.
