The Insurance Association Malta (IAM) is calling for greater transparency over roadside drug and alcohol testing, amid a series of serious traffic accidents and court cases involving dangerous and unlicensed driving.Six months after random roadside drug testing was introduced, the association wants police to reveal how many motorists have been tested, how many tested positive and how many cases resulted in prosecutions.When the measures came into force at the end of March, police said four drivers had tested positive within the first days and pledged to conduct tests regularly.“We need to know how many motorists are being tested to establish whether there is any evidence that behaviour is changing,” IAM said, arguing that enforcement figures should be published regularly.The association is also calling for the Road Safety Council to be reactivated, saying it has remained dormant for the past seven months following the resignation of its chairperson. According to IAM, the council cannot function until the Sustainable Mobility Ministry appoints a new chair.IAM also pointed towards the number of serious motorcycle accidents in recent months. It cited NSO figures showing motorcyclists accounted for 40.7% of all road casualties between April and June, despite representing a fraction of vehicles on Malta’s roads.The association called for better rider education and road design, greater awareness of vulnerable road users and increased use of technology such as Automatic Number Plate Recognition to detect uninsured vehicles and other offences.“Road safety cannot be measured by legislation alone. It is enforcement that changes behaviour, and transparency that allows us to judge whether that enforcement is working,” IAM said.Do you think Malta needs tougher enforcement on its roads?•
