I am aSri Lankan and live in Japan. I never consumed alcoholic drinks nor smoked. Arresting and fines do not stop this habit. In Japan if anyone is caught driving after consuming liquor gets his license cancelled for life! This should be done in Sri lanka as drunken drivers cause deaths

Swift justice for the poor who consume ethanol while justice crawls for ethanol dealers.

The new President who spoke of the costs involved in treating motor accident victims when he was the Minister of Health must extend all necessary support to the Police Dept.to get the number of accidents reduced under a clear Action Plan. Erection of Speed Limit signs all over the Country is essential. Speed limits of some newly done roads can be increased whilst the stretches which has recorded a higher number of accidents could be reduced. Public cooperation should be sought to give information regarding recklas drivers, especially the bus drivers. Large business entities could be requested to join in erecting Speed Limit Boards as part of it or on the reverse cold be used to advertise with necessary permission. If the prsent IGP could achieve tangible result before he retire it could be something praiseworthy as this is bigger menace after terrorisom. Percey

Every year same story, same publicity. But hardly any drivers are caught (unless drivers of cars and trucks NEVER drink alcohol).

Well Done SL Police. Good to see arresting drunk-drivers, sad to see people still take risk of drink driving. At least, this action would have saved a bunch of innocent victims (from accidents caused by drunk-drivers).

It is good to arrest drivers under the influence of liquor. But that is only little part in implementing road discipline which will avoid fatal accidents. ExamplesPrivate buses driving like crazy during the day, stopping in the middle of the road to pick up and drop passengers.Overtaking on the wrong lane at high speedNot stopping at the zebra crossingOvertaking from the leftBut the police are shamelessly watching on why .Three wheeler drivers the same and worse. Today they are road terrorists causing fatal accidents. The police are just watching. Shame on the police. Most high officers are shameless and spineless not doing there job properly.
