Ireland As outlined in Q 14 above, the Dept Transport is drafting legislation that will grant wider breath-testing powers to An Garda Siochána.

In November 2004 the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform announced the establishment of a dedicated Traffic Corps within the Garda Siochána. The Garda Traffic Corp is headed by an Assistant Garda Commissioner, has its own dedicated staff and a ring-fenced budget. The current number of 500 members of An Garda Siochána dedicated to the enforcement of road traffic law is expected to rise to 1,200 in the next two years.

The Minister also published a Strategic Review of Traffic Policing (in Ireland), which is intended to be a blueprint for a transformation in the enforcement of road traffic law. The document is viewed as a step forward in the enforcement of road traffic law and promotion of road safety.

Columbia All the legislation is included in the Transit Code: Law 769- 2002. You can find the law in: www.mintransporte.gov.co. It’s an official web.

Costa Rica Seat belt use was made mandatory by a Supreme Court decision in 2002.

El Salvador There is a proposal for legislation to prohibit alcohol consumption in gas stations (convenience stores).

Panama Law 9 (April 16, 1993): By which it is mandatory the use of seat belts in

moving transport vehicles”

Executive Decree No.299 (April 29, 1992): By which advertising and

propaganda for alcoholic beverages, cigarettes and tobacco is regulated

Canada While not related to drinking driving fatalities, all levels of government are now concerned about the increased risk posed by the use of cellular phones while driving. A number of provincial and territorial governments have conducted research, and most or all are monitoring the situation. In 2003, the province of Newfoundland implemented a ban on cell phone use by drivers (passenger use is permitted). Transport Canada is conducting research on the impact of cellular phones on driving as well as monitoring public attitudes. Recent surveys suggest that many drivers recognize the increased risk associated with using cellular phones while driving and that a large proportion of the public supports some restriction on their use.

New Zealand The direction for policies to make New Zealand roads safer will be on-going by Land Transport New Zealand, The New Zealand Police and other Government agencies. These road safety objectives will focus around the Government document Road Safety to 2010, which was first implemented in 2000.

Targeted action areas include:

- New and better targeted education initiatives - Dealing with serious offenders

- Combating drink driving - Reducing speed

- Encouraging the use of safety belts

South Africa Seat belt legislation has been in place for some time. No new legislation is expected apart from that envisaged in the 1996 Act and expanded on in the plan to 20053.
