Traffic inspectors will immediately begin to identify drunk drivers

Next year, the traffic police will have at their disposal new equipment that will allow them to instantly detect the presence of alcohol vapors from the driver.

According to the head of the State Traffic Inspectorate Mikhail Chernikov on the air of the Militseyskaya Volna radio, if the device does not detect the presence of alcohol, the driver will be immediately relieved of the need to undergo a medical examination.

Chernikov said that despite a 40% decrease in the number of accidents involving drunk motorists in recent weather, the problem is still relevant, and many offenders are being recruited for drunk driving.
