I think it is evidence-based. I have given a large number of figures here. We can consider reviewing its effect at some stage. That is certainly an interesting idea.

One can never tell exactly what the impact of this measure would be because the issue is multifaceted. Many people have said enforcement and other areas are equally important in reducing the number of road deaths. A review of this could certainly be considered. The evidence is compelling, namely, that alcohol of any sort, of any degree, or of any amount impairs driving and is damaging to the driver. At its basic level, this measure will reduce an anomaly. This is just recognising a fact in the 50 mg to 80 mg range area. That is all it is doing. It is not doing any more than that.
