## Resource

EU mandates breathalyzer locks in new cars to curb drunk driving, aiming for a 50% reduction in alcohol-related traffic fatalities by 2030. This new rule requires car manufacturers to install alcolock devices, which prevent the car from starting if the drivers alcohol level is too high. Studies show a significant reduction in alcohol-related accidents where this technology is already in use. This is part of the EUs Vision Zero plan to minimize traffic fatalities by 2050.
