Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
General Scheme of Road Traffic (Fixed Penalty - Drink Driving) Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed)
9:00 am
Ms Velma Burns:
I disagree that there are other overriding factors. The research indicates that when alcohol is consumed before driving, it leads to other risky behaviours. The alcohol consumption comes first. It is not a fair comparison to speak about the impact of a big meal on driving compared with the impact of alcohol.
