Road Traffic Bill 2003: Second and Subsequent Stages.
The penalty points system has changed the culture and I have no doubt it will be successful. Another element of the penalty points system is that the publicity has resulted in a greater acceptance of the system by the community and drivers have slowed down. Hopefully the publicity generated as a result of the introduction of this Bill will help in the public relations battle of ensuring people adhere to the law and refrain from driving while drunk.
