Tough new law has been introduced and will see driver's license taken at the booze bus, for even low range
So ok but what about at least as dangerous using phone while driving
Too cruise control, in some hands it has killed
Our road toll is rising but you can drive a car for ten or twelve hours virtually asleep without being charged
Safety first but please include drive while using phone

NSW has seen a number of people before the courts after killing someone while using the phone while driving
Lets not get in to the nanny state stuff no driver should have the right to put any one at risk
A P plate driver will have no license if they drive with one drink, it is the lawnow, but this time it is automatic

License ban should not extent to work driving as this will cause more problems than it solves.
Surely, an employee will be seen by others before they sign out a work vehicle.

Sorry indy death is forever,it will not care if it is mum taking the kids to school or a tradie
The new law is harsh, as it probably should be
But is it going to work?
Both truck drivers and P platers have a zero tolerance now
Deaths still happen
Mobile phones are surely at the very least,just as bad
Put a kill switch in cars that stops the motor if you pick up the phone

Let's be fair, simply apply the same penalties to vehicle drivers as apply to licenced firearm owners.

Belly,
Sober speeders have fatal accidents too. Preventing someone from working is not an answer to drink driving. A fine & restricting driving to/for work would be a good start.
I have made a point whenever I go for a beer, to ask what alcohol free beer they sell. Not a single Pub sell any ! There is a problem already.
Education ! Do they teach on the subject of social behaviour & alcohol consumption in schools ? Doesn't seem like it. The drinking culture in Australia has always been a de-railed. Start with educating teachers to an acceptable social standard so they can then pass on a healthier mentality. I spoke with a chap who's out-of-control grandson went to a bootcamp & who came back a totally changed young man. He said only two out of a group of ten failed.
Provide more sane social rules & promote a healthier mentality & people will change for the better. All that's needed is to treat them like people. How can we expect the next generation to be organised when ours is the one that's so flawed ?
