Legislative Changes for Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol and Drugs
January 3, 2026
The traffic police is seeking a change in legislation that would allow them to revoke driving licenses on the spot from drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The current law permits offenders to continue driving until their trial, which concerns the authorities. In 2025, road accidents and fatalities increased, with 45 deaths in traffic collisions. The new regulation aims to reduce the number of dangerous drivers and provide immediate action by the traffic police. Most victims are young people, with motorcyclists being particularly vulnerable.
