Abstract
This submission has been prepared in response to the Parliamentary Travelsafe Committee's Inquiry into vehicle impoundment for drink drivers to address research relevant to the committee’s investigation into whether:
• Drink drivers in Queensland continue to drive illegally after being apprehended by police or disqualified from driving by the courts;
• The incidence of repeat drink driving undermines the effectiveness of existing penalties for drink driving offences; and
• Vehicle impoundment and/or ignition key confiscation are cost-effective deterrents that will reduce drink driving recidivism, relating to other existing or potential methods of managing offenders.
