Under new proposals, the most dangerous drink drivers will have to undergo a medical before they are allowed back on the road. Will be interesting to see how many pass, but will it also lead to an increase in the number of people driving whilst disqualified? Drink drive rules tightened-up
Firstly - I don't agree with Drink Driving full stop. However it is really annoying to see yet another law brought in because an existing law wasn't being properly enforced. If Criminal Justice System put people through the medical like they were supposed to then this wouldn't be an issue. The hardened drink drivers won't give a monkey's about this and will just drive whilst disqualified and not bother with the medical.
Did I read it wrong or is the only change involved is that repeat drinkers are not allowed to drive until they get the medical rather than currently they can apply for licence and they can drive straight away but they still have to get a medical at some point?
