“We have a history of many road accidents, especially on weekends, and we cannot lower our guard in this regard,” he added.
González Zatarain recognized that the breathalyzer checkpoints, however agile they may be, will always cause annoyance to the driver, that is why they have to be located where they cause the least inconvenience.
“If it is agile, if it is good, if it is well prepared and we are going to have an itinerant one and we are going to have a permanent one that will detect cases of drunk drivers and it will be jointly with Public Security, the Internal Control Body and the department doctor of the Legal Area”, he stated.
