Drink-driving remains one of the leading causes of serious injuries and fatalities on UK roads. While existing sanctions remove offenders from the road temporarily, there’s limited assurance that reoffending will not occur once they regain their license.
Studies & trials (across several European nations) have shown that using alcolocks significantly reduces reoffending rates.
