In this episode, Niall confronts a harrowing personal encounter with a drunk driver who wreaked havoc on the motorway, nearly causing multiple fatalities. The incident raises a critical question: should drink driving lead to an automatic lifetime ban, or even jail time?As the conversation unfolds, some callers argue that drunk driving is too dangerous to treat lightly and believe a lifetime ban, coupled with possible jail sentences, is the only real deterrent. After all, no one should have to fear for their life because someone chose to drink and drive.Others, however, feel that while the behavior is reprehensible, a lifetime ban is too extreme. They advocate for a more balanced approach, suggesting mandatory rehabilitation, tougher temporary bans, and financial penalties. These callers worry that making punishments absolute might discourage individuals from seeking help.Niall concludes the episode by acknowledging the intense emotions surrounding this issue and the complexity of crafting effective, just policies.

Does your family have a favourite recipe, a meal that feels like home? For Mario, that was his wife's famous spaghetti and meatballs. But one evening, what should have been a comforting dish left him feeling... uneasy. And then, it happened again and again. Was it just a bad batch—or something far more sinister? In this episode, meet John Franceschini, a forensic chemist with over 30 years of experience in private labs. Outside the reach of police or government, he uncovers the truth about what's really on our plates, and in our drugs. Join host Kathryn Fox and dive into not one, but two cases of alleged food poisoning, the elusive dangers of synthetic drugs, and why independent forensic labs may be the last line of defense in the search for truth.

Professor Denis Cusack, Director of the Medical Bureau of Road Safety, discusses the national forensic service's annual report into alcohol and drug driving detections for 2023.
The 2023 annual report for the Medical Bureau of Road Safety makes for some pretty grim reading. It shows that drink driving numbers are still high, and worryingly, the number of repeat offenders is high.243 drivers were arrested twice in 2023. One was even arrested seven times by Gardai in 2023 on suspicion of driving while intoxicated...Is there enough of a deterrent for drink driving?Andrea is joined by listeners including Seamus Boland, CEO of Irish Rural Link, to discuss.
Two new sets of European Union border control mechanisms will come into effect, the introduction for the new entry exit system has now been confirmed for the 10th November, and the Visa waiver programme in early 2025. They are likely to mean increased delays in crossing borders, including the Gibraltar frontier. Jonathan Sacramento told us more. Tonight is opening night for the Gibraltar Fair! It promises to be jam packed with rides, food, and entertainment for the whole family. Seamus Bryne, who has been getting everything ready for the fair, told us what we can look forward to over the coming week or so at the former Rooke site. As we look to enjoy the remainder of summer, we need to keep in mind what the consequences of drink driving can be. The Health Authority has issued a new advert on this on social media. We spoke to paramedics John Perry and Angelina Haveland. Louis Parral told us what we can expect in local football over the weekend, and also discussed a great night for international football for Lincoln in Faro yesterday.

Thanks to another announcement from the Transport Minister Simeon Brown over the weekend, the police have a new target to add to their 'To Do' list. The government has announced a crackdown on drunk and drugged drivers, setting the police a target of performing 3.3 million roadside alcohol tests a year and 50,000 roadside drug tests a year. Anything we can do to get impaired people off our roads and prevent the carnage they can cause is a good thing. It is a simple and effective deterrent to drink or drugged driving. I don't know about you but I find getting breath tested a slightly nerve-wracking process, even if I haven't dropped a drop. It works for me – the thought of a breath test is enough for me to make the most of Uber. The problem has been – you'd think we'd stopped testing. Up until about 3 weeks ago, I can't remember seeing a police breath testing checkpoint since before Covid. They were noticeably absent before the festive season – there always used to be checkpoints leading into Xmas as a reminder to us all to get that taxi or bus home from a work Christmas function. And then, as if to make up for the lack of testing, I recently got breath tested three times in the space of 15 minutes by the Royal Oak roundabout in Auckland. It was about 4pm on a Sunday afternoon – obviously they were after the Sunday Funday drinkers from a local pub or two – and they were stopping drivers on two different roads leading off the roundabout. I got done twice on the way to my friends to drop something off, and once again on the way home. I got the giggles by the third, which wasn't helpful. Point is – bring it on. Last year was a bit of an outlier – the police did manage around 3.2 million breath tests – previous years it had been around 1.4 in 2018 and 2.1 in 2022. So it should be manageable. Keep it up. Be visible. Just knowing the police is keen to up their targets will hopefully mean more people make good decisions. The drug testing is a slightly different and interesting case. Getting roadside drug testing up and running has been a laborious process filled with complexities. In 2022 Labour passed legislation allowing for random roadside drug testing, but then they discovered they didn't have a device that could record accurate results. Then another law change was introduced adding a lab test to back up the roadside test. Along the way there have also been concerns about people testing positive – even if they are not impaired, and how we monitor people using pharmaceutical drugs and making sure they are not impaired while driving. Under the coalition's updated legislation, the plan is to use the same technology used in Australia. Transport Minister Simeon Brown explained how it would work to Tim Beveridge yesterday on the Weekend Collective “The legislation on that is currently before a Select Committee which is considering it, that is hopefully going to be passed shortly. Police then need to go through a procurement process in order to identify the test and to then procure one, then they'll roll it out. I mean, if you look at what they do in Australia, what they do is take a swab of your saliva within your mouth, they put it into a little kit, and that kit then identifies where the drugs are present to a certain standard. So that's what we expect will be implemented here in New Zealand. And as I said, legislation is currently before the Parliament, so we can now, we can roll that out and actually roll it out successfully. The last government passed legislation, but it required those tests to be an evidentiary standard, whereas most countries use this from a screening perspective, knowing that the tests aren't 100% accurate. But it will have a checks and balances in place, such as ensuring that you have to have two positive tests to actually be fined, can't just have one. You can have two and then evidentiary sample also has to be taken following that. So we've got checks and balances in place, but again, it's about sending the message if you're driving drugged or drunk on our roads, the police are going to be resourced to screen for it and then hold people to account for those dangerous behaviours which cause far too many deaths on our roads each year.” So under the proposed law, anyone who failed two roadside drug tests would be suspended from driving for 12 hours and could face further penalties, such as fines and demerit points. The oral fluid sample would also be sent for more sophisticated laboratory testing. It has been difficult getting roadside drug testing up and running – and it's not perfect, and it might raise problems for a few people – but it really is time for it to be in place. The police need to have the resources to test people that they believe are impaired and take them off the road for all our sakes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are hopes that the increase in breath tests will be a turning point for reducing deaths and injuries from drunk driving.

The number of deaths resulting from drink driving has more than doubled in the last ten years. A 111 people died because of a drunk driver last year, a big jump from 53 deaths in 2013. Police targets to test three million drivers a year for alcohol haven't been met since 2014, and will be a million under target this year.
