ROAD SAFETY AND THE.NEW BILL


'J'HE great debate is on again—lor the umpteenth time. Each year, after the entirely predictable slaughter


on the roads at Christmas and the New Year, we get a frenzy of analysis and argument. What causes the big increase in the number of injuries and deaths at this time, people ask. Is it carelessness induced by nothing more than the generally festive atmosphere'' Js it the inadequacy of the roads, plus ice and fog, or the clos­ ure of railways forcing more traffic onto the roads? Or is it drink?


IMING WEEK


cver toll. But the old arguments are still trotted out. A motoring organisation claims that only one accident was blamed on drink, and once again we hear the time- worn demands for better roads. Bad weather and bad roads are the cause, it is claimed, and this is repeated year after year.


With tragic irony, the first general holiday of the Stop Accidents Year’- has been marred by the worst-

side at night to see which car parks arc packed, and research has shown that the accident rale is above average in the hour after “closing lime” even though traffic is lighter. Of course we have inadequate roads and bad


weather, but these conditions apply in January and February and other limes, too. Why, then, does the slaughter double over one particular weekend? One letter writer to the press disputed that drink


was a major cause of accidents and then went on to attribute them to carelessness, adding that the standard


of driving over Christmas was appalling—a view most drivers will support. But how can we rule out a link between this excessive carelessness and drink? Another writer blamed speed, bad temper and aggressiveness, but. again, how do we know that each of these causes was not accentuated by drink?

hromotion Common error One of the commonest mistakes people make is to


fail to distinguish between “ drink-driving” and drunken driving. Motorists who arc “blind drunk” may be a menace, but they are not the chief worry. Those who show manifest signs of intoxication quickly call


. attention to themselves and stand a good chance of prompt arrest, but in any event such drivers arc a tiny minority. The real danger lies in vast numbers of people on the roads who are under the influence just enough to make them over-confident, with their judgment clouded and reactions slowed. In normal circumstances they might be all right, but the slightest emergency— such as arise on busy roads at Christmas when other drivers in similar condition are about—finds them out. Campaigns of persuasion have signally failed, but


at long last legislation, in the form of the Road Safety Bill, is now making progress through the Commons and should soon be~law. For the first time it proyides


for a compulsory blood alcohol test, with a limit of 80 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood. This is not being anti-motorist, for. in fact, a survey among motorists, taken by a responsible Sunday news­ paper three months ago, showed that one third of them favoured a complete ban on drinking before driving— they were just not willing to share the highway with such people—and a majority were in favour of the police being empowered to stop anyone for a test Police know the difficulty of convicting a driver


in that the police will be able to enter a hospital and, if the doctor in charge consents, breath-test a motorist suspected of drinking.


Fairest method A still controversial point, however, is the random


test, or spot check. Provision for it was included in the earlier Bill killed by the General Election and although Mrs. Castle reintroduced the Bill the spot check was dropped after representations from motoring organisa­ tions against what they claimed was an encroachment


on personal liberty. Mrs. Castle has recently pointed out that there is

still an element of random selection in the present proposal, but nevertheless we are sorry she changed her mind, for we still think the random test was the fairest and least objectionable method and that the motoring organisations did not—in our personal ex­ perience—speak for the majority of motorists. Most of them, we feel, would prefer a laid-down standard of blood alcohol rather than be left to guess how far they should go, and many also recognise that the spot check would deter the chance-taker and save him from him­ self and the subsequent humiliation of arrest. The spot check, too, we feel, would be less offensive and carry less stigma, for being stopped for one would only indicate collaboration in carrying out a social duty, in the same way that one submits to the random opening of suitcases by customs officers at ports and airports


-with no other feeling than that of willingly complying in the enforcement of law and order. Under the new Bill, however, to be stopped for a test will mean that one is already under suspicion.


As Mrs. Castle herself pointed out in introducing .


the original Bill, there is no difference in principle between random breath test and the random test for goods vehicles. When the Bill becomes law we shall have spot checks on vehicles, but not on drivers. Where


is the logic in that? Small sacrifice When one thinks of the price we have paid for the


internal combustion engine, a little infringement of per­ sonal liberty is small in comparison. The history ot road transport in Great Britain in this century shows a trail of millions killed or maimed. One cannot reckon the total amount of .suffering and anguish, but even il we disregarded all this, the financial cost alone oL accidents in 1965 was estimated to be £264 mill on, plus loss of earnings and hospital treatment costing £183 million. Not all the causes of accidents can be removed by legislation, but where new rules could be effective, sucha compulsoryeye test on renewing a driving licence, compulsory refresher courses for drivers under police supervision (sue has are now provided for civilians0at Hutton) and above all by * c removea, of

who is unsafe through alcohol, for a man’s appearance and behaviour after an accident can be attributed to various causes, such as concussion and shock, and up to now drink-drivers have been able to “escape” to hos­ pital—even if only for treatment—while the effects of the drink wear off.
