It is relevant to this discussion. It is important because we need to recognise that there was a change in the law just after the midpoint of that reference period. Therefore, the new law may have applied to some of those 16 drivers who had a blood alcohol reading in the 51 mg to 80 mg range. Therefore, the current proposed change would not have applied to them in that they would have been in a lower cohort.
