Drink Driving Zero Tolerance

Anyone caught drink driving must face an automatic disqualification.
Why is this important?
Scientific evidence shows that one drink impairs your ability to drive.
RSA official figures show that 38% of fatal crashes are alcohol related. Drink driving is on the increase. In Co. Donegal alone the detection rate is up 50% even though the enforcement has reduced by 30%.
The lives of innocent men women and children have been lost and thousands have been seriously injured, some injured so badly that their lives have been ruined due to the severity and extent of the injuries. Families are left grieving and bereft and in some cases family members lives are also changed forever as they become carers of the injured survivors.
