The Impact of Drink Driving Offences on Our Roads

Drink Driving Offences pose serious dangers on our roads, especially over holiday periods when people are celebrating with their family and friends. Despite the increased police presence on roads and Drink Driving Advertising Awareness Campaigns, motorists are still being charged with Drink Driving Offences and unfortunately the road toll incidents are not decreasing during these holiday periods.

The Role of Drink Driving Solicitors

Drink Driving Solicitors are now being utilised more than ever to defend Drink Driving Charges. In a bid to curb the behaviour, the courts have introduced mandatory Drink Driving Penalties, in the hope of reducing Drink Driving on our roads but unfortunately, the message still isn’t getting through to motorists.

Despite the increased number of Roadside Breath Tests conducted by Police, motorists who Drink & Drive are still taking their chances on the roads and are not deterred by the new Mandatory Drink Driving Penalties that were introduced in recent months.

What is even more concerning, is the mentality that if they don’t feel drunk, then they must be OK to drive. This misconception is staggering especially when statistics show that one in every seven crashes in NSW ends in a fatality due to Drink Driving.

Fortunately, since 1980, when Random Breath Testing was introduced, the number of fatalities on NSW roads, as a result of Drink Driving, has declined from 250 per year to 42 Drink Driving Deaths in 2017. It is encouraging that the numbers are decreasing, however, there are still too many people losing their lives from Drink Driving incidents.
