Medical Bureau of Road Safety: Discussion with Chairman Designate
2:10 pm
Dr. Declan Bedford:

Road traffic legislation regarding alcohol and so forth is one of the most challenged matters before the courts, so anything that leads to a lack of confidence in the system produces more challenges and more confusion for drivers. Drivers might feel that they can get away with things because everything is in disarray. It certainly does not help.
