One in ten drink-drivers on rehab course comes from Eastern Europe - by Ben Webster
More than one in ten motorists sent on a drink-drive rehabilitation course is from Eastern Europe, according to figures on the growing problem of unsafe foreign drivers on British roads. Eastern Europeans caught by roadside breath tests are also twice as likely as the average drink driver to be serious offenders who have at least two-and-a-half times the legal limit of alcohol in their systems.
The figures come a month after the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB), which handles claims from crashes caused by uninsured drivers, said that the number of claims against Polish drivers had more than tripled in the past two years. No records are kept of the number of foreign drivers or foreign vehicles in Britain but the total has risen sharply
