They are based on Medical Bureau of Road Safety figures, RSA figures – I hate repeating myself - and World Health Organization figures. They are based on absolutely impeccable organisations of that sort, which are producing these figures. It is absolutely incontrovertible - I am repeating myself – that alcohol impairs people. In the 38% figure which I have given - and the Deputy is quite right, some pedestrians are included - 9% are pedestrians and 29% are drivers. The proof is there. The question is whether people in that particular bracket or degree of impairment should or should not be disqualified. That is all.
