S 65 findings - Briefing paper to be submitted to Minister of Transport Tomorrow

[Genestho]

Some of you may recall a post I made last year in regards to a pushing for a Review into section 65, indefinately/disqualified/repeat drink drivers and Interlocking Devices.

An update....
Tomorrow, the briefing paper and findings finally go before the Minister of Transport.

I havent been told the content, but will be given the update after the Minister has read it.

Cheers

As a result of recommendations presented to Cabinet the Ministry of Transport was directed to undertake a comprehensive review of s65 of the Land Transport Act 1998, and to look at the possible use of alcohol interlocks in vehicles for repeat drink drivers in New Zealand.
It is likely to incorporate looking at the information that is given to offenders about accessing treatment, and earlier intervention for first and second time drink drivers (although this is not covered by s65).

Thanks Blackshear!
