Ms Velma Burns:

I would like to add that, while technology such as the alcohol interlock can have a role, it is also critical that road users and drivers take personal responsibility. That is what we are about: educating road users on the impairment effect of alcohol. That is why the proposed Bill is extremely important. A deterrent as powerful as the loss of one's licence for three months will make road users think twice before drinking and driving, even at the lower level of two or three pints. We believe that is critical.
