During the autumn we have been preoccupied with the issues of road deaths, road safety, speeding and drink driving. It is very frustrating when cases are thrown out on technicalities. Justice is supposed to be an even scales but it seems that the feather of a technicality weighs evenly with or even more than the substance of an offence. We ought to review the administration of the law to ensure this does not happen as frequently as it does.
