In 2021, the Government commissioned PACTS (Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety) to publish a report on alcohol interlocks: Locking Out The Drink Driver: Using alcohol interlocks to reduce drink driving in the UK.

The government keeps motoring offences under review, including those for drink driving.

The Department is developing its Road Safety Strategy and will set out more details in due course.
