Technical requirements have been established for alcohol locks and lane control systems in vehicles.
With the new regulation published today in the Official Gazette, the technical specifications of the alcohol locks and lane control systems that must be present in vehicles have been clarified. This regulation has taken the final step of an application that had previously been decided but whose details had not been specified.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION COMPLETED
This regulation, published as a continuation of the regulation regarding "event data recording systems" issued in 2024, comprehensively defines the technical requirements for alcohol locks and lane control systems in vehicles. Thus, the final steps for the installation of these systems in vehicles have been taken.
WILL DETERMINE THE DRIVER'S ALCOHOL LEVEL
With the new regulation, the alcohol lock system will measure the driver's alcohol level, ensuring that a check is made before the vehicle is started. Drivers with an alcohol level above a certain threshold will be automatically prevented from starting the vehicle. This system will accurately measure the driver's alcohol level using various technologies, alerting the driver, and the vehicle will not operate in case of exceeding the limits.
EMERGENCY LANE CONTROL WILL ALSO BE IMPLEMENTED
The regulation also makes the implementation of an emergency lane-keeping system in vehicles mandatory alongside the alcohol lock. This system will be activated to guide the vehicle and prevent accidents in case the driver veers out of the lane.
HOW WILL THE SYSTEM WORK?
The alcohol lock requires the driver to perform a breath test before starting the vehicle. After determining the alcohol level, if the alcohol level is high, the vehicle cannot be started. Alcohol locks are offered in different models; some of these are systems that require blowing into a key.
WHAT IS AN ALCOHOL LOCK?
The primary function of the alcohol lock is to prevent individuals under the influence of alcohol from driving. This system makes it impossible for the driver to start the vehicle without passing an alcohol test, thereby aiming to increase safety on the roads.
