All new UK cars could have breathalysers and black box-style recorders under Labour plans to align with the EU

New cars sold in the UK can follow European laws and equipped with new equipment that provides black box -style recordings and breath -receiving installations, claiming that the movement is a political trick to reset the post -Brexit relationship by EMB.

Sir Keir Starmer’s government argues that differences in automobile production between England and Europe will lead to the transfer of higher costs to the customer.

However, critics argue that such a movement may show the desire to make effort closely compatible with the rules and regulations implemented by Brussels.

Previously, the worker admitted that Britain would be compatible with EU facility and animal health rules as part of the privileges to establish a closer relationship with the block.

Now, the Minister of Transport Lord Hendy said in Parliament at the beginning of this week that the government has ‘a clear assumption in favor of harmony’ about how cars were produced.

Authorized, the government ‘EU’s general security regulation, the options that require the compliance of the compulsory security technologies’ and they will discuss them with individual manufacturers, motor manufacturers and merchants Association and National Franchise Dealers Association, he added.

The Daily Mail understands that the Ministry of Transport is exploring options for updates that require the installation of security technologies specified in the general security regulations of the EU – but it does not involve the equipment that provides breathing.

When the UK became a member of the EU, the new British and European cars followed the same legislation.

However, after Brexit, Brussels introduced the General Security Regulation 2 (GSR2), which requesting the predetermined installation of different devices and technology.

They include breathing -takers that prevent the start of a car engine if the driver fails in alcohol test.

Under the arrangement, there should be equipment to facilitate the installation of all new models. They will only be attached to the vehicles used by drivers with driving record.

Activity that can provide information about how fast a car travels before an accident should be installed on new vehicles (EDRS) and the driver drowsiness warning (DDAW), which can warn a driver if they become sleepy.

Northern Ireland follows GSR2 rules as part of the Brexit agreement to prevent a harsh limit with the Republic of Ireland.

However, the differences between new cars made within the scope of the EU and the UK rules may mean that customers in Northern Ireland will encounter higher costs to buy a new vehicle from the mainland.

It is understood that the EU and the UK security laws support the ‘compliance’ in order to prevent negative treatment for Northern Irish consumers.

It is said that car manufacturers also see the advantage of aligning the rules.

Mike Hawes, General Manager of Motor Manufacturers and Traders Association Telegram: ‘The intensive integrated nature of the UK and the European automotive sectors supports efficient production, supports efficient production and reduces costs for consumers while maintaining the widest model selection.’

‘Alcolocks’ can be installed in the car and can work by taking a breath sample from the driver to control alcohol levels.

However, Brexit supporters argue that British car manufacturers do not need to be managed by Brussels, and that the movement is an attempt only against the EU Woo.

Former Tor leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith said, ‘This is a gradual game in which they continue to move towards the European Union.’

Mark Francois, President of the Conservative European Research Group, added: ‘This is still setting a rule from the EU, but you are trying to dress.’

Far from political theater, as they are known in the resident breathing – or ‘Alcolocks’ – in fact, it is supported by the majority of drivers as a solution to stop the reorganization of beverage drivers.

A new survey conducted by RAC found 53 percent of the drivers. He wants the courts to have the power to order Alcolock Breathales to their cars to those convicted of drinking driving.

Supporting the interventionist approach, as a request for freedom of information to DVLA, 27,000 people were convicted of a large number of drinks driving crimes until July 2024.

Behind these evidence, RAC wants the government to take this method, which is used in some parts of Australia, Belgium and the United States to reduce the driving of beverage.

Rac Policy President Simon Williams said: ‘too much life disappears and ruined with a drink.

‘It is also clear that most of the beverage drivers caught by the police are re -users who imply to do something different to change this dangerous behavior.’

Alcolocks – What are? Can they be standard?

Everyone will not hear Alcolocks or alcohol-interlocks as well as known.

Alcolock is actually a brand name founded in the 70s, but it has become a common name for breaths attached to the ignition system of the car.

After hanging, a driver must provide a non-alcoholic breath sample to start the engine-often blowing for five seconds.

If there is little or no alcohol, the engine will start. It does not start if it exceeds a certain level.

There are several options for how they are compulsory and who pays for them: for example, the courts may only make them compulsory for those who have been convicted of re -re -use or beverage driving.

In other countries, conformity is generally paid by the criminal, but in case of financial difficulties, the state may take steps to cover the cost.

However, it should be noted that the EU brings new rules that require ‘preparation’ for an alcolock installation of all new cars sold in the EU in July 2024.
