On Tuesday (10 December 2013) Rehman held a debate in Parliament on improving road safety and asked the Government to review measures to reduce tragedy and injury on our roads.
Rehman said that the Government should consider introducing alcolocks and tougher sentences for persistent offenders to tackle the increases in deaths from drink driving.
He also called for a tougher new stance on banned drivers. Rehman wants courts to be given extra powers to lock up motorists who cause death whilst disqualified for up to 14 years, instead of the current maximum of two years.
