Lower drink-driving limit an evasion strategy to placate the road lobby

MYLES Duffy is right (‘Vintners pathetic attempt to discredit new drink-driving limit’, Letters, July 12).

The vintners opposition to the lower drink driving limit is pathetic. Loss of jobs is not a valid justification in itself.

However, drink-driving has become something of a fetish. The assumption that lowering the limit will save lives has been made without any intelligent, scientific statistical studies and analyses being made.
