New state will implement the new law from the 20th of this month to severely punish drunk driving. As long as the driver is caught drunk driving, whether serious or not, the driver's license will be revoked on the spot.
As part of the new policy, all drunk drivers were fined A $561 in addition to at least three months' suspension, according to the Sydney Morning Herald, Constance (Andrew Constance), the director of new state transportation and roads.
Constance stressed that the new state government has "zero tolerance" for drunk driving, "which means that anyone who is seized in the new state, no matter what level, even the lower level, is now subject to the revocation of his driver's license on the spot."
"it is clear from this reform that there is a price to be paid for breaking the law. We have zero tolerance for drink driving and drug driving," he said.
Although all drunk drivers will revoke their licenses on the spot, they can appeal to the court afterwards.
Constance said about 56 percent of drivers in the new state who entered judicial proceedings in low-level alcohol driving cases will eventually escape any punishment, but now there will be some change, as long as the drunk driver is caught, will be suspended.
"ultimately, we want to do everything we can to reduce the number of death on the road, so we have to send a clear message," he said. That is, starting May 20, even if the breathing test reading at a low level, will immediately be suspended for three months. "
Constance said at least 68 people died on the new state road from drunk driving-related car accident, accounting for 1/5 of the total number of death on the road, and 55 of those killed were on country roads.
In addition, the number of road death associated with the drug drive is approximately the same as the above data. In the light of the new law, the authority of the authorities will be simplified as well.
Anyone caught carrying a illicit drug or drug will be fined A $561 and a license revoked for three months after confirmation of the tests.
New State Assistant Police Commissioner Kobo (Michael Corboy) said the new reforms would protect all road users through "flexible and definitive penalties."
"Alcohol is one of the main causes of casualties on new state roads," Cobaui said. "the 0.05 blood alcohol limit has been in place for nearly 38 years, and there is no more excuse [to say I don't know]."
Coboy also pointed out that most of the drunk driving deaths occurred in remote areas of the new state, and mainly in the west and north of the new state.
