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><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><div class=\"leaky_paywall_message_wrap\"><div id=\"leaky_paywall_message\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"nag_logo\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/nmn-logo-long-transparent-small-4.png?w=300&#038;ssl=1\"  alt=\"Nieuws over nieuwe mobiliteit\" \/>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"text-center\">\r\n\tLees dit artikel nu gratis!\r\n<\/h2>\r\nRegistreer een gratis account en krijg toegang tot dit artikel en haal meer uit New Mobility.\r\n\n\t\t<div id=\"leaky-paywall-quick-register\" class=\"inline\">\n\t\t\t<form id=\"leaky-paywall-quick-register-form\" method=\"POST\" action=\"\" data-trp-original-action=\"\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"form-field email-field\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<label for=\"email\">E-mail<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t\t<input class=\"email\" type=\"email\" name=\"email\" placeholder=\"Voer uw e-mailadres in\" value=\"\" required>\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"form-field password-field\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<label for=\"password\">Wachtwoord<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<input class=\"password\" type=\"password\" name=\"password\" placeholder=\"Maak een wachtwoord aan\" value=\"\" required>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<input name=\"company_url\" type=\"text\" value=\"\" autocomplete=\"off\" tabindex=\"-1\" style=\"display:none !important; position:absolute; left:-9999px;\" \/>\n\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"level_id\" value=\"20\">\n\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Registreer gratis\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"trp-form-language\" value=\"nl\"\/><\/form>\n\n\t\t\t<div id=\"leaky-paywall-quick-register-errors\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"text-center\"><strong>\u2014 OF \u2014<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"text-center\"><strong>Nu abonneren<\/strong> Krijg onbeperkte toegang tot de originele content van onze uitgeverspartners, ontvang meldingen over het laatste nieuws en krijg dagelijks een zakelijk overzicht, samengesteld door onze gespecialiseerde journalisten, met de belangrijkste artikelen over uw sector die u moet lezen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"nag_buttons\">\r\n\t<a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/newmobility.news\/nl\/abonnement\/\">Nu abonneren<\/a> \r\n\t<span class=\"nag_button_divider\"> of <\/span> \r\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/newmobility.news\/nl\/log-in\/\">AANMELDEN<\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>","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.
