The Minister for Transport has announced plans to extend the penalty points system.

Martin Cullen told a Joint Oireachtas Committee that the expanded system would be ready for implementation in the New Year.

Offences in the expanded system would include failure to obey traffic lights, dangerous overtaking and crossing a white line.

However, the Garda Representative Association said it is not aware of the minister's plans.
