We need to introduce systems to test drivers for drugs and to provide for the mutual recognition of driver disqualifications with the UK. We also need other safety measures. I was shocked to hear this week that 60% of those who come before the courts for drink-driving are able to escape without conviction. We need to ensure drink-drivers are not able to use technicalities and loopholes to escape justice.
