A motorist experienced recently some stuffy moments when his alcolock is out and the car without drive, and ratification of the handlebars and brakes caused havoc in the middle of the highway.

Driving with alcohol on do you just not, so as for me to share them just unconditional driving bans to drankrijders. The Public Ministry poldert, in contrast, is rather loose with that widely challenged alcolock. It is not only easy to circumvent and unfair, it can to life-threatening situations.

According to the NIS, experienced an former drankrijder, who for obvious reasons wishes to remain anonymous, that in the future. While he is quiet and sober and his mileage was on the highway, got his alcolock is suddenly a failure. Thus attacked both the drive as the ratification on the steering wheel and the brakes road. Only after the reboot of the device also came in the car back to life, but the speed was from 120 to 50 km/h has dropped. Fortunately it happened on a straight stretch, because in a turn, suddenly your power steering loss, or -even worse – the steering lock to activate is asking for serious accidents. Also killed by a sober driver with stuttering alcolock is very cru… The CBR, which is responsible for the imposition of the alcohol interlock, for clarification asked the manufacturer, Draeger.

In addition, the Council of State recently determined that the alcohol interlock is not lawful, since it was imposed in conjunction with a criminal prosecution. Therefore, there are at this moment no BOB-keys are built and go drankrijders compulsory on the course. Minister Melanie is, however, determined the alcohol interlock his return.
