Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Issues Relating to Road Safety: An Garda Síochána

Mr. Drew Harris:

The overall road safety strategy talks about mistakes leading to collisions but there are really reckless and dangerous behaviours that are leading to collisions. These are addressed through the road traffic legislation but it should be highlighted that people are making a choice. They are making an incredibly poor and reckless choice but they have made a choice, not a mistake. To drive under the influence of drink or drugs is a choice.
