Ms Moyagh Murdock:

We are here to clarify the perception that speeding is the killer behaviour. It is not. It is alcohol. We will come back to the committee with those numbers but it has nothing to do with the alcohol Bill we are discussing here. This is about saving 78 lives per year as a result of the drink driving level being between 50 mg to 80 mg. We would be happy to look at further legislation in terms of speeding but we must be quite firm about what we are here to do today. We are here to clarify questions about the pre-crash report on alcohol. We have a very detailed report on speed and speed is also a killer behaviour that is combined with alcohol. Members will see that in the report. People make decisions as a result of drinking alcohol and also speed. There is a lot of overlap whenever we talk about these killer behaviours.
