Experts of the German accident insurance company (UDV) have proposed to the relevant authorities in Germany to oblige the car companies to install the immobilizer in new cars, who will be able to discover whether the driver of the vehicle has used alcohol in excess of what is legally permitted to prevent accidents Because of alcohol.
Experts specializing in car accidents renewed this proposal against the background of the fifty-eighth German Transport Conference in Gosler, which will be held between the twenty-ninth and thirty-first of January.
For its part, the German Transport Safety Council considered the proposal "innovative and exciting".
According to the data of the German Statistics Authority, in 2018 alcohol was the cause of about 14,000 traffic accidents that caused deaths or injuries.
"If all drunk drivers are prevented, by technology, from driving their cars, there will be no accidents caused by alcohol, resulting in deaths or injuries," said Zigfred Brockman, head of the accident research center for UDV Accident Insurance.
