Other provinces in Canada ate looking at
stiffer penalties for drinking drivers and
disqualified drivel's. In Saskatchewan people
who drive While impaired or disqualified can
be fitted up to S2,O0' tinder a new law which
came into force just last week.
Police powers itt Saskatchewan have been
expanded: An ofcet may attest a motorist if
he has reasonable grounds to believe the
motorist wont avpeat in court to answer a

six month jail tett of both.

Public reaction to drinking drivers is
demanding change. The response to the
Insurance Bureau of Canada's advertising
campaign against drunk driving which
started running a series of newspaper ads
October 12. has been "incredible" accord-
ing to bureau spokesman Nigel Dunn. At the
bottom of the ad is a coupon to be filled in
with ideas on how to stop drunk drivers.
There is also a toll free telephone number for
members of the public to call to record their
comments.
the anger and concerto of the public comes
through in their responses to the ad.
According to Dunn, most people write to say
they take drunk drivers' keys away and call
taxis fot them. Others, if entertaining at
home, stop serving alcohol and start serving
coffee a few hours before people leave to go
home. ot try to persuade their friends to stay
overnight on the couch.
Other suggestions include asking the
government to ban all school advertising and
installing aat breathahzer in every carr.
One pragmatic suggestion from a Toronto
area matt said: "if yon can't get the keys.
disconnect the baattery.
b'urwwtm befiievves this advertising campaign
is working because "it emphasizes peer
pressure and lets people think of the positive
things they can do to prevent drunk
driving."
And that's just the point. Drunk drivers
are everyone's responsibility. Perhaps if the
laws in Ontario were written as they are in
Sweden everyone would realize it is their
responsibility to keep a drunk from getting
behind the wheel of a car. In Sweden not
only is the driver charged. but everyone in
the car at the time is considered responsible
and they are also charged.
This results in peer pressure which
reduces the number of instances involving
drunk drivers. Everyone in the car knows
they are responsible according to the law.
Drinking and driving is so deeply
ingrained in our society that it is a part of our
culture. And to change that. the government
is going to have to be prepared to take
drastic action. Only when everyone in
society. from the lawyer and the doctor right
on down to the teenager. is sentenced to jail
for two weeks on their first conviction." are
people going to tealize that society can no
longer tolerate the human waste and the
financial costs associated with drinking
drivers.
