I will only say one date, July 15 - 37 with alcohol, 9 drugs and two who refused to be tested. That is, the measure to seize the car of drunk and drugged drivers with over 1.2 per mille works.

This was stated to BNT by Angel Popov from the European Center for Transport Policies. According to him, it works, thanks to various organizations.

"Drunk and drugged drivers are the killers on the road. Besides speed, the other thing that kills the most on the road - these are drunk and drugged drivers. These are the most dangerous people".

He expressed hope that the trend towards reducing the number of people tested who have used alcohol or drugs and are behind the wheel will continue. According to him, statistics clearly show that confiscating the cars of such drivers as a measure works.
