Russia wants to mandate alcohol interlocks on all new cars – report

Russian authorities are considering making it compulsory for all new cars sold there to be equipped with alcohol breath test “interlock” devices – whether or not the buyer has a history of drink driving. In Australia, states and territories mandate the fitment of breath test “interlock” devices to cars owned by repeat drink driving offenders. The devices – which require drivers to exhale into a tube to prove they are not intoxicated – are fitted at the driver’s expense.
