Het systeem, dat in Zweden al wordt gebruikt, verplicht bestuurders om een ademtest te ondergaan voordat een slagboom opengaat, waardoor bestuurders die de limiet overschrijden, geen toegang krijgen tot het openbare wegennet.<\/p>\n<p>De federale regering is van plan de technologie te testen op een openbare parkeerplaats, met het oog op mogelijk later gebruik op parkeergarages en bij grote evenementen. Tegelijkertijd zal Belgi\u00eb vanaf 2027 de regels voor beginnende bestuurders aanscherpen door hun wettelijke alcohollimiet tijdens de eerste drie jaar na het behalen van het rijbewijs te verlagen van 0,5 naar 0,2 promille.<\/p>\n<p>Daarmee sluit Belgi\u00eb grotendeels aan bij Nederland, Frankrijk en Luxemburg, terwijl Duitsland strengere regels hanteert met een daadwerkelijke limiet van 0,0 promille voor jonge bestuurders en bestuurders met een proefvergunning.<\/p>\n<h4>Strengere regels<\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Volgens de meest recente verkeersveiligheidsbarometer van het Vias-instituut is het aantal verkeersdoden in de eerste zes maanden van het jaar met 6 procent gestegen ten opzichte van dezelfde periode vorig jaar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Er vielen 223 dodelijke slachtoffers, tegenover 210 in de eerste zes maanden van 2025.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Daarom heeft Jean-Luc Crucke, federaal minister van Mobiliteit, strengere regels voor beginnende bestuurders aangekondigd.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">De trend is het meest negatief in Walloni\u00eb (een stijging van 91 naar 110 dodelijke slachtoffers); in Vlaanderen is er sprake van een status quo (110 naar 109 dodelijke slachtoffers), terwijl er in Brussel een daling te zien was (9 naar 4 dodelijke slachtoffers). Het aantal ongevallen met gewonden daalde met 2 procent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">\u201cDe invloed van alcohol is schadelijk voor elke bestuurder, maar het risico op een ongeval is nog groter voor beginnende bestuurders vanwege een gebrek aan ervaring en rijgewoonten die nog niet in de automatische reflexen zijn verwerkt,\u201d benadrukt Crucke. \u201cBij een alcoholpromillage van 0,5 tot 0,8 per mille neemt het risico op een ongeval onder 18- tot 25-jarigen in ons land ongeveer twee keer zo sterk toe als bij oudere bestuurders.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>\u2018Alcoholpoorten\u2019<\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Bovendien gaat Belgi\u00eb experimenteren met een \u2018alcoholpoort\u2019 op een openbare parkeerplaats. Het idee is ge\u00efnspireerd op Zweden, waar automobilisten die van bepaalde veerboten komen eerst in een alcoholtester moeten blazen die aan een slagboom is gekoppeld; als de test positief uitvalt, blijft de slagboom gesloten.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Zo\u2019n \u2018alco-gate\u2019, zoals de Zweden het noemen, zou bij de uitgangen van bepaalde parkeergarages of bij openbare evenementen kunnen worden ge\u00efnstalleerd, <\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">wat veel moeilijker te organiseren is dan een controle bij de uitgang van een veerboot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Het principe verschilt ook van een gewone alcoholcontrole: de screening vindt plaats voordat de bestuurder daadwerkelijk het openbare wegennet oprijdt. Het gaat hier om preventie, in plaats van iemand een paar kilometer verderop aan te houden.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Beproefde technologie<\/h4>\n<p>Het Zweedse experiment\u00a0<span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Het project ging in 2013 van start bij de Germany Terminal in G\u00f6teborg. Daar werden ongeveer 8.700 chauffeurs getest. Volgens een evaluatie die later door het Zweedse parlement werd aangehaald, werkte het systeem snel genoeg om de doorstroming van het verkeer niet noemenswaardig te hinderen. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">De vraag is natuurlijk of het verkeer net zo vlot zou verlopen als bij een veerbootterminal na een evenement als bijvoorbeeld Tomorrowland, wanneer duizenden automobilisten tegelijkertijd de parkeerplaats van het festival willen verlaten.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Het preventieve effect is bijzonder interessant: alleen al de wetenschap dat men na de overtocht met de veerboot een alcoholtest zou moeten ondergaan, bleek het aantal bestuurders dat tijdens de overtocht alcohol dronk te verminderen. <\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Sinds 2019 maakt G\u00f6teborg gebruik van een meer permanente automatische installatie.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Het is beproefde technologie, maar het is nog lang geen Europese norm.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Eerst iets interessants<\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Op dit moment zijn er in de buurlanden geen vergelijkbare voorbeelden van automatische alcoholcontrolepunten op openbare parkeerterreinen of bij evenementenlocaties. Belgi\u00eb staat dus op het punt een interessante primeur te realiseren als het systeem daadwerkelijk wordt getest op een parkeerterrein bij een openbaar evenement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Overigens liggen de toegestane alcoholpromillen in de landen om ons heen over het algemeen lager.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Zo geldt in Nederland bijvoorbeeld al een limiet van 0,2 promille voor de eerste vijf jaar na het behalen van het rijbewijs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Ook Frankrijk en Luxemburg hanteren een limiet van 0,2 voor beginnende bestuurders. Duitsland is nog strenger: daar geldt zelfs een limiet van 0,0 voor bestuurders tijdens hun proefperiode en voor iedereen onder de 21 jaar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Naast de unieke \u2018alcoholgate\u2019 werkt de Belgische regering aan andere verkeersveiligheidsmaatregelen, waaronder het wettelijk kader voor het gebruik van slimme camera\u2019s. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">De regering zet zich er ook voor in dat de politie zo snel mogelijk de beschikking krijgt over een nieuwe, gespecialiseerde rollenbank om de snelheid van e-scooters, e-bikes en bromfietsen te controleren, zodat zij gemodificeerde voertuigen onmiddellijk uit het verkeer kunnen halen.<\/span><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Belgium wants to introduce Swedish-style \u2018alcohol gates\u2019 at public locations as part of a broader crackdown on drink-driving.
