Transport planning bosses may support the latest call to help make British roads safer by imposing tougher laws on drink and drug driving.
Road safety charity Brake and insurance firm Direct Line issued a joint call for action to lower the drink-drive limit and prosecute those driving on impairing drugs.
The plea came after a survey by the two groups revealed that 71 per cent of drivers would support plans to cut the current limit of 80mg alcohol per 100ml blood.
Meanwhile, nine in ten agreed that the government should introduce a new anti-drug drive law that would enable anyone driving on impairing drugs to be prosecuted.
Cathy Keeler, deputy chief executive of Brake, said policymakers must take "bold action" to show they are listening to public concerns and are committed to making life safer on the roads.
"Our drink-drive limit and drug-drive laws are hopelessly out of touch with public opinion and the weight of evidence showing just how dangerous it is to mix drink or drugs - or both - with driving," she added.
Earlier this month, the charity also called for tougher enforcement on foreign truck drivers to ensure they are able to drive according to British safety standards.
