Also, a recent report suggests Canadians overwhelmingly support tougher measures to combat drunk driving.
The report, which combines survey results and focus group findings, was assembled for Transport Canada and Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

It found 91 per cent of those surveyed viewed impaired driving as the country's greatest road safety concern and a priority issue for governments.

And almost nine in 10 supported tougher measures to combat the crime, including vehicle confiscation, zero blood alcohol tolerance for drivers under the legal drinking age and mandatory breath testing at crash scenes involving fatalities.
