Belgium wants to introduce Swedish-style \u2018alcohol gates\u2019 at public locations as part of a broader crackdown on drink-driving. The system, already used in Sweden, requires drivers to pass a breath test before a barrier opens, preventing those over the limit from entering the public road network.<\/p>

The federal government plans to test the technology at a public parking facility, with possible later use at car parks and major events. At the same time, Belgium will tighten the rules for novice drivers from 2027 by lowering their legal alcohol limit from 0.5 to 0.2 per mille during the first three years after obtaining a driving license.<\/p>
