What would help more (IMHO) is to ban drivers under 25 from the roads between 00:00 and 06:00. Obviously with some kind of permit system for shift workers etc. In our village there is a minibus that costs €5 per person to pick you up and drop you home at anytime during opening hours. Not just Ireland, the same thing...

I do remember when myself and the wife were in Ireland for a week , we were shocked at how many deaths were announced on the tv news each day .Plus loads of shrines at the roadside. We did see some rather dodgy driving manouvers as well So lets hope it does have some affect. Mark

Hmmm. Might be a good time to offload the Guiness shares. Good idea to have a lower limit for learners and working drivers, though why not just make it 20 across the board? It is here and many other countries.

I agree totally with Mogwyth why have a drink drive limit? Why not get ban it compleatly, if your going to drive then dont drink simple.

Why not just impose an outright ban? Solve all the problems.

Ban it completely and that will put just about every country pub out of business, a sensible limit that allows for a drink is a more reasoned approach in my opinion.
