Tunisia Intensifies Fight Against Drunk Driving with Advanced Alcohol Detection Technology

In a significant step towards improving road safety, Tunisia is rolling out new-generation electronic breathalyzers across the country. This initiative aims to combat the persistent issue of drunk driving, a major contributor to road accidents. Colonel Sami Saoudi, spokesperson for the National Road Safety Observatory, announced the deployment of these advanced devices during a recent interview.

Modernizing Alcohol Testing for Immediate Results

These state-of-the-art breathalyzers, which have already been distributed to specialized police units this week, offer a swift and accurate measurement of blood alcohol content (BAC) through breath analysis. Unlike the older, chemical-based breathalyzer tests that relied on “balloons,” these electronic devices provide instant results. This allows law enforcement officers to take immediate action and initiate legal proceedings without delay, streamlining the process of identifying and apprehending drunk drivers. This modernization is a crucial component of Tunisia’s national strategy to reduce road accidents, where alcohol consumption remains a significant aggravating factor.
