RSA 'wants penalty points for not having first aid kit'
The Road Safety Authority reportedly wants penalty points for failing to have a first aid kit in your car.
A proposal by the RSA also wants it to be compulsory for all drivers to have torch, hi-vis vest and a warning triangle in their vehicle.
According to the Irish Independent, the organisation hopes the emergency pack will be compulsory for all new cars next January and existing cars by July 2016.
The RSA says it hopes the failure to have the kit could become a penalty points offence, or a compulsory requirement to pass the NCT.
