More broadly, the powers listed in Amendment 416J replicate enforcement powers and penalties already available to market surveillance authorities, including trading standards, which seek to ensure that only safe products are placed on the market. To echo our discussion on the previous group of amendments, I say that the noble Lord, Lord Pannick, is absolutely right that there are already offences in place. We expect everybody, whatever their mode of transport—whether the vehicle is illegal or legal—to obey the Highway Code, the rules of the road, and, where applicable, speed limits. As the noble Lord, Lord Pannick, pointed out, there are offences for speeding.
