Special to The News outlines the Road Safety Monitor by TIRF based on a May telephone survey of 1,200 drivers. It notes 15.8 percent admitted driving within two hours of drinking in the past 30 days, down from prior years, while MADD Canada argues the reduction is statistically insignificant due to a 2.9 percent margin of error.
