General Scheme of Road Traffic (Fixed Penalty - Drink Driving) Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed)
9:00 am
Ms Moyagh Murdock:
There is no other offence for drink driving level where one can escape with a fine and a penalty point. This is the only one in the drink driving category that one can escape with an administrative fine, so if we put in the mandatory ban, all drink driving offences will result in a mandatory ban. That will mean consistency across the board if one drinks and drives whether one is specified or non-specified.
