The Government’s motoring offences consultation, launched in January 2026, sought views on current penalties including whether alcohol ignition locks (alcolock) should be used as part of a drink drive rehabilitation process. We are currently analysing the responses and will then announce next steps.

Sentencing is a matter for the independent courts who will look at each case individually, including whether to disqualify an offender.
