Driving under Influence
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he plans to extend drink driving offences to include a) persons on cycles, b) riding horses and c) in charge of horse drawn vehicles.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
This Government takes road safety seriously. We are committed to reducing the numbers of those killed and injured on our roads.
We are considering a range of policies under the new strategy; the first for 10 years. This includes the case for changing motoring offences such as drink driving.
We intend to publish by the end of the year.
