PM seeks steps against drunk driving

WARSAW (AP):Poland's Prime Minister, Donald Tusk, is meeting with the justice and interior ministers to discuss ways to prevent drunk driving.

The meeting is Tusk's response to the deaths of six people who were hit by a car driven by a drunk 26-year-old last Wednesday in Kamien Pomorski in northern Poland. Two children were hospitalised with injuries.

Last month, a 31-year-old drunk woman drove into a pedestrian subway in downtown Warsaw at night. No one was injured.

Interior Minister Bartlomiej Sienkiewicz says the problem is a general tolerance of drunk driving by Poles.

However, the head of an association of road accidents' victims blames the courts for leniency towards drunk drivers.
