The Georgian Workers’ Union (GWU) is advocating for tougher sentences for individuals convicted of driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol. This call to action emphasizes the need for more stringent measures to combat impaired driving, which poses a significant risk to road safety. The GWU believes that harsher penalties will serve as a deterrent, encouraging drivers to think twice before getting behind the wheel after consuming substances that impair their ability to drive safely.
In addition to stricter sentencing, the GWU is urging for an increase in roadside testing to identify and apprehend drivers who are under the influence. Enhanced testing protocols would allow law enforcement to more effectively target impaired drivers, thereby reducing the number of accidents and fatalities on the roads. By combining tougher penalties with more rigorous testing, the GWU hopes to contribute to a safer driving environment for everyone.
