Drink Driving Law & Practice |
Authors: Joseph Nigel Ley
Publisher: Sweet & Maxwell; 1996, 2nd Edition - ISBN: 0421580607 |
| Since the last edition the law has progressed rapidly. Here all the relevant statutory provisions are set out and analysed in detail, with special emphasis on how these provisions have been interpreted by the judiciary. Important cases on duplicity and the provision of body samples are included as well as provisions of the Road Traffic Act, 1991. This Act introduced the offence of causing death by careless driving while under the influence of drink or drugs, and changed the "totting up" provisions. Another major development has been the application of section 69 of PACE, 1984. This applies to the breathalysers used at the police station and to the admissibility in evidence of the breathalyser printouts. The book also explains clearly how samples are analysed, the technology involved in the Lion Intoximeter and Camic devices, and the medical effect of alcohol on the human body. |
