Penalties for drink-drivers

Research shows that driver behaviour is influenced by the risk of being caught (drink-driving) and significant penalties. The current NT penalty system for drink-drivers is not an effective deterrent.

What should change

  • Penalties for exceeding zero (eg taxi drivers) or 0.05 BAC should be increased from $100 to $200.
  • As recommended in the 2003 O’Sullivan Report, An Assessment of Resource Requirements of the Northern Territory Police Force, dedicated Traffic Sections should be implemented as soon as possible in 2006-07.
