The initiative aims to reduce impaired driving, linked to 30% of road fatalities. After a successful trial, the program will expand to cover the entire country by July 2026, with police conducting 50,000 tests annually. Positive tests will result in a 12-hour driving ban, and refusal to test will lead to infringement notices. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
