Article Synopsis
- Bhutan faces a high rate of alcohol-related diseases, and as motorized transport increases with economic growth, the risk of traffic injuries also rises, prompting an investigation into drink-driving in Thimphu.
- In a study conducted from May to July 2017, police checkpoints were established to breathalyze 1,596 drivers, revealing that 13% tested positive for alcohol, with 4.2% exceeding the legal limit.
- The findings indicate that drink-driving is particularly prevalent at night, especially among men and older drivers, suggesting a need for routine breath-testing and awareness campaigns to curb this behavior.
