The Western Cape MEC of Transport and
Public Works Robin Carlisle said the proposed lowering of blood alcohol level
is not the answer to addressing the carnage on the roads.
Minister of Transport Dipuo Peters has
proposed that the blood alcohol limit for drivers be lowered to 0.02g. MEC
Carlisle said harsh convictions must be the focus.
Ministerial Spokesperson Siphesihle Dube
said the current limit in the country is the same as most other countries that
have established safe driving regimes.
Dube added that there is no prove that if
the limit would change then it would result in decrease of deaths on the roads.
