S4M-04627.1

As an amendment to motion S4M-04627 in the name of Kenny MacAskill (Drink Driving), leave out from “, which” to second "drink driving" and insert “; praises the successful efforts of Scotland’s police forces in tackling drink driving, which has led to the number of drink driving offences recorded by the police falling by 37% since 2002-03; acknowledges that, while a case may exist to lower the drink drive limit, any change must not be implemented until its effect on police efforts to focus on the most dangerous examples of this serious crime is fully explored and properly identified; urges the Scottish Government to fully consider whether lowering the drink drive limit will have unintended consequences in criminalising less serious behaviour and diverting police resources away from the most serious offences".
