Drink-Drive Rehabilitation Scheme to be updated. 10/11/11

 

dd image The Driving Standards Agency has announced plans to change the way the Drink-Drive Rehabilitation Scheme is currently run.

The proposals include improving the standard of the courses and the way they are approved. The Driving Standards Agency is hoping to not only increase the awareness of the offender as to the consequences of their actions, but to encourage more training providers to get involved in the delivery of the courses.

It was also suggested that the administrative costs which are currently paid for by the taxpayer, should be passed on to the offender in addition to the training costs they currently have to pay.

Road Safety Minister Mike Penning said:

“Most drivers are safe and responsible but there is a reckless minority who put lives in danger by drink driving and those drivers need to be tackled effectively.

“As well as taking action to help the police to deal with drink-drivers, we are looking at how we can reduce the likelihood of re-offending through improving the Drink-Drive Rehabilitation Scheme.

“Improving the way courses are delivered is a positive step towards achieving this and will help to ensure Britain’s roads remain among the safest in the world.”

The government’s Strategic Framework for Road Safety also hopes to strengthen the enforcement of the law by making the training courses mandatory for disqualified drivers.
