Hansman, Frank Solomon

Furthermore

Served as aHon. Major in WWII in AAMC. Convinced that alcohol was a major cause of road traffic crashes, in the 1950s Hansman began a campaign for the introduction of police-conducted tests to determine drivers' blood-alcohol levels. At times almost single-handed in his crusade, he addressed public bodies and wrote scientific articles; he was an active committee-member of the Road Safety Council of New South Wales; and he represented the Federal Council of the British Medical Association in Australia on the Australian Road Safety Council and before a Senate select committee. Following Victoria's lead six years earlier, in 1968 the New South Wales government introduced the legislation that Hansman had long advocated. ADB entry
