Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Road Safety Strategy: Discussion (Resumed)

11:00 am

Mr. Michael Finn:

That is correct. Alternatively, they might be novice drivers or young people. They all fall in to that category. A total of 879 fell into that category. In the same period, the number for the next category, a BAC of between 50 mg and 80 mg, we had 2,245. The number for the third category, which is a BAC of over 80 mg, is 1,380. Of the three categories under which drivers do not get a disqualification, the 50 mg to 80 mg category had the largest number of the fixed charged notices. These cases do not go to court. These drivers are in the fixed charged notice category.
