Trade Review'This book…is very good. …The first thing which is striking about the text is the ability to locate the salient points from each case…one is presented with a clear layout and structure of the circumstances of the case, the question for the court and the decision made, with a brief summary at the start of each case…extremely useful when researching a specific area of law…Of particular merit …is the almost exclusive use of judgments when relaying the decision that was made by the court. The judgments are relayed in part, but only the part essential to the dictum of the judge – useful when drafting a legal argument. In summary this book is extremely useful when defending or prosecuting cases involving drink or drug driving.' From a review in The Law Society Gazette.
