The state government on Wednesday suggested that 'zero-tolerance' method be adopted in cases of drunken driving. While hearing the PIL initiated by the High Court through its suo motu action in the Alistair Pereira hit-and-run case, Chief Justice Swatanter Kumar and Justice Ranjana Desai have now given the state government four weeks to formulate suggestions in road accident cases.
“Like New York ex-mayor Rudy Guiliani's 'zero-tolerance' policy against crime, we need to have a zero-tolerance policy for cases of drunken driving”, Kadam said. He told the court, that a police official with a doctorate in sociology will have to be consulted before putting these suggestions in place.

“Like New York ex-mayor Rudy Guiliani's 'zero-tolerance' policy against crime, we need to have a zero-tolerance policy for cases of drunken driving”, Kadam said. - Why only against drunken driving Mr. Kadam ?? Why not against all crime !! That would automatically cover drunken driving wouldn't it ...
Dont drink and Drive.u might just spill ur drink...
When people were asked to comment on the drinking and driving some people admittted that they would quit driving instead of drinking.
The problem is here to stay. The solution has to come from the people itself,understaning the seriousness of the problem.
