Dear Dr Zhizan J. Alach

 

Before your Official Information Act (OIA) request is able to be
processed, I am hoping you could clarify some of your requests.

 

You ask whether the Ministry has ever produced, commissioned, or received
any reports citing the costs of limiting the speed of vehicles. Are you
referring to technology that is designed to limit the speed that a car is
able to travel? Or, alternatively do you mean the costs associated with
lowering speed limits on roads etc.

 

Also, you inquire about executive reports or minutes relating to the
Ministry’s decision to focus on speed at the expense of other safety
options. Could you clarify the starting year that you would like to
request these reports from?

 

Sincerely,

 

Scott Taylor

Ministry of Transport
