Alcohol
on our roads
In excess of 1,000,000 drivers per year have their driver’s licence
revoked world wide because of driving under the influence of alcohol.
In Germany for example, more than 70,000 road accidents involving people
under the influence of alcohol are recorded annually. For more than 10,000
people in the European Union and for more than 15,000 people in the USA,
the crash was fatal. Every collission that occurs due to irresponsible
consumption of alcohol is one crash too many!
What is the Dräger Interlock?
The Dräger Interlock is a breath-alcohol measuring instrument with
a vehicle ”immobilizer”.

a driver who has consumed alcohol from starting the engine. It can easily
be installed into the vehicle.
By installing a Dräger Interlock, you can avoid accidents caused

attitude may be an added benefit.
