Summary: 


    I was listening to the radio yesterday and some "expert" said that
studies in North America show that it is not the severity of the
punishment that deters drinking and driving, but the odds of getting
caught at it. This means that even mild or moderate penalties can
be effective if people expect there is a good chance that they will
be caught.
    Do people think there is room for a citizen's patrol similar to
the neighbourhood watch program?

Cheers,		Fred Williams
