Poll: Do you agree with the plan to name and shame disqualified drivers?

The CEO of the Road Safety Authority thinks publishing names will act as a deterrent.

PEOPLE WHO HAVE been disqualified from driving can expect to see their names published in their local paper from next year.

The CEO of the Road Safety Authority told TDs before Christmas that drivers who had been proved in court to have broken the law could expect to have their details published, under a new plan being worked on by officials.

While drinking and driving is now entirely unacceptable “there still seems to be a societal acceptability to drive when you have been disqualified,” Moyagh Murdock observed.

Do you think the scheme will act as a deterrent?
