Motorists caught over the alcohol limit or driving dangerously may be subject to a new range of sanctions, including retraining or the requirement to fit an alcolock or speed monitoring system to their vehicle.
Minister for Transport Leo Varadkar said the Government was considering legislation to widen the options available to judges and to address the issue of drivers who repeatedly commit serious offences.
He told the Road Safety Authority’s conference on Recidivist Behaviour and Driver Rehabilitation in Dublin Castle yesterday that international evidence showed extra sanctions, in addition to fines, disqualification or imprisonment, were required.
