| dc.description.abstract | It is reported that, in Sri Lanka, there are
almost 8000 road accidents take place per year and
out of them a considerable number of accidents are
occurred due to drunk driving. There are many rules
and regulations presented as to how charges to be
framed and the procedure of breathalyser tests shall
be carried etc. in relation to drunk driving cases in Sri
Lanka. Consequently, every person in the country
reached into the attitude that the judicial system has
failed to administration of justice over the parties of
the drunk driving cases. This study follows the
qualitative approach while analysing the existing
legislative enactments, regulations, and case laws
with the objective of evaluating the substantive and
procedural aspects of the Sri Lankan legal framework
relating to drunk driving, while inviting relevant
stakeholders to revisit their approach towards drunk
driving cases | en_US |
