Yes we did. Lots of money was wasted on breathalyzers at that time.
We better start seeing results or PICHARDO is not going to be believed (as in the 30 day overstay thread, smart gun, laptops for all, etc, etc, etc discussions after that one hit wonder of The Metro revelation) .
It was the required disposable batteries that killed the breathalyzers.
The actual reason behind the large purchase of the new machines may well be the pay offs the politicos get and not a real effort to do anything about drunk drivers.

I am still waiting for the "cashless" DR that he predicted a few years ago. I guess it was hard to get the right machines in all the Calmados............................
And all the motoconchos and chicas too!

I agree with you zoom, someone up high has a hermano/primo that got a line on them and sold a bunch for retail X 500%. Just like all those dam, road light deflectors that they glued to the roads all of the country.

On the north-coast there might be a small problem with the glue they used, about 50% are gone between RSJ and Magante.
Prophet Pichardo might have insight on this?

Let’s start by the cops wearing one to set good example....
I often saw that and wondered how in hell they could even think of pulling someone over for having no helmet

There is a serious flaw in the intent of alcohol testing.
If that is the law, where is the justice?
Will there be a 'drunk driving court ' be established in every zone....or will the NP be the 'one stop shop' ,,, kind of a conflict of interests if not jurisdiction.
Will the courts be handing down punishment ...???... that being the case, expect to spend years in protective custody until your
number comes up.
TO create a 'driving while intoxicated ' policy and implement the necessary infrastructure to handle the Justice side there needs to be:
a campaign of education implemented.
Implement previous Motor Vehicle Laws and subsequent penalties.
Implement the vehicle insurance necessity
And, the need for Drivers Licenses. (How can you take away a license that does not exist)
Proper vehicle equipment requirements ( All vehicle lights working and meet a Mechanical requirement)
Well one could go on forever........ but I won't.
There are Laws for virtually every conceivable thing in RD.... but the will to enforce these Laws are not evident.
I have had several acquaintances die in Motor bike accidents ,Drunkenness , Poor mechanical condition, radical driving habits
no concern for the other person, and the belief that such things only happen to the ''other person''.
Start somewhere where the Law is evident and enforce it to the ''letter of the Law'' ... then add the next Law and so on.
Install an additional Fiscal (?) for traffic offences only.
It might take 20 years to implement; but it will be worth it in the end.
OK, so I am pipe dreaming!
But that is the way it was done in developed countries ....... If the RD wants to become a ''Power house'' of Law and Order then start somewhere that can be managed and demonstrate a visual impact.
Anyway , that is my peso's worth.

It seems to depend on the area.
In Cabrera - there has been a SERIOUS crackdown for several months
And it's working....
The police stop every 'no helmet' entering the town....

At the Charamicos end of the beach there is a moto concho "station" where they gather under a tree.
Close by are the colmados that sell alcohol, beer to whiskey.
All during the day a goodly number of the moto concho guys take a fare, come back and buy a little booze.
By the afternoon they are pretty drunk but go right on taking fares around town.
From years of experience they are able to disguise their degree of drunkeness.
I am amazed at how they are not in accidents.
Maybe drunk driving is a skill that they develop after years of experience.
I would not ride with one if it was free but the poor tourists get aboard all day long.

My guess is one of two things:
The Concho drivers got sick of them and pried them up (many have convenient spaces enough for 2 spaced tires.
OR
The guy with the contract has more to sell the Gov. so he has someone prying them lose and then either sells the same ones back or new ones. - Dam good profit margins if you can sell the same product twice (for more than it's value).

these are not glued but bolted. The same animal chamaquitos pry them off at night so they can go flying by popping wheelies killing their own people.

PICHARDO, as a Dominican operative, gets paid per click for all of his propaganda content.
Yes we did. Lots of money was wasted on breathalyzers at that time.
We better start seeing results or PICHARDO is not going to be believed (as in the 30 day overstay thread, smart gun, laptops for all, etc, etc, etc discussions after that one hit wonder of The Metro revelation) .
Clearly both of you are disconnected with the reality of the DR in those terms...
Notebooks, laptops and other electronics have and are being provided to both students and teachers in the DR on a sustained basis. After all we are not a rich country to disburse the full qty in one shot. Funny is all being done by donations from private citizens (all Dominicans) and the the Gov program.
Smart guns? The manufacturer only provided the prototypes for the pilot test. Since then the prototypes supplied were not manufactured. The maker decided to hold it until better and smaller/lower latency elecromechanims are available. So it's paused, for now.
The E-pesos? Already the currency in circulation has been limited and the electronic transactions increased exponentially in the local market. A matter of timing to keep currency level. But it's happening faster this year than all 4 back put together.
30 Days overstay? HHHHHHHH
All have been warned here aplenty!
For those overstaying simply vacationing, once it's the full monty, will not feel it much. But those that are invested in the DR in property, businesses, and other instances where they need to be in the country, will have a very hard time if caught in the net...
Folks, the National Database is a system that will incorporate anything that has to do with government, business, legal and anything in between. With a limited scope for the private interests due to privacy. But you can bet it will be good and swift.
The pilot roll outs provide what works, what needs improvement and what needs to be cut out. So far the results are beyond the expectations. A person's driving record is now fully detailed and accessible to any LEO anywhere in the country. Real time.
Personal fines will soon be a common thing for littering, loittering, etc... Because there will be a means to enforce it practically. Drivers Ed will start from a young age. Motorcyclists will be required to get a safety certification to operate anything on two wheels and a motor to make it run.
All that is in the way. You just wait... It takes money to roll out each program ahead of the curve.
The Chinese gov has proposed much assistance to that end. Including public security.
Ah! Oh! And a little thing called 5G from HUAWEI...
