Chairman Eitan Cabel of the Knesset Economics Committee said, Tuesday afternoon, that the committee has not yet received data to justify discussing the request to increase the punishment for traffic violations.
The Zionist Union lawmaker said, "We will consider a stricter points system only after we receive all the research data and are convinced of the importance of increased punishment to combatting highway fatalities - after the regulations were set down without professional research. You can not make decisions based on your mood."
