The Dutch Driving Standards Agency (CBR) may no longer impose an alcolock program on drivers who have drunk too much. This is what the Dutch Council of State has decided on March 4. According to the Council, due to legislation that is too general, the CBR has too few means to make an individual assessment of the individual consequences for the drivers concerned. In practice, the program therefore leads to "inequality and arbitrariness, because sitting drunk behind the wheel has much graver consequences for one person, than for another," concludes the Council of State.
