Page 16 of a 32 page report released by AA, sent to all MPs and Road Safety Co-ordinators in NZ, where it describes "The failure to achieve 2010 Roadsafety Strategy Goal has cost us more dead than the Battle of El Alamein"
"MOT has speculated, (in the Safer Journeys public consultation document) that unmeasured (Blood Alcohol Content) values may be different, but speculation should not form the basis of policy."
AA uses a conservative study suggesting that drivers with excess EBA have driven at least 87 times, there is another study that shows first timers have driven 200 times.
So on that note, like AA - also failing to find hard evidence, and complete data regarding BAC Distribution values across prosecutions, injuries and fatalities ....Lowering the limit, appears to be a misguided target, and a sugar coating of the bigger issues that need to be tackled.
B.A.D.D would however, support a REVIEW into lowering Blood Alcohol Limits, (with which evidence will need to be provided with data from NZ drink driving stats - prosecutions, injuries, and fatalities) and continued focus on issues of prevention and re-offending, where there is insurmountable evidence within NZ drink drive stats.
