Lawmaker-cum-unionist Ho Ion Sang urged the government in an interpellation yesterday to introduce harsher punishments for drinking and driving, so as to deter drivers from violating the law.
Ho lamented that between 2008 and 2015, the Public Security Police’s (PSP) records show that the police busted over 9,000 drunk driving offences, averaging three cases a day.
However, Ho said that unlike other countries and regions, drunk drivers in Macau only have to pay a fine for the violation. Besides, the government even narrowed the definition of what is drunk driving in 2007.
