Banning alcohol should not be a prime solution in dealing with
fatalities on S.A’s roads - that’s what some experts are once
again saying.
This follows Transport Minister Barbara Creecy’s statement that
the government plans to reduce the legal blood alcohol driving
limit to zero, effectively banning all alcohol usage for drivers
regardless of the amount consumed.
This is not the first time that this total ban has been proposed, it
was previously rejected by the transport committee in
parliament, although a different legislation was passed focusing
on dealing with corruption in the enforcement of existing laws.
