Summary Police enforcement of alcohol has increased by a factor of 3 since the year 2000 Legislation on alcohol has changed (0.5‰, random breath testing allowed, cascade system of license withdrawal, 0.1 ‰ for young drivers) Decreases in punishment, license withdrawals and road fatalities Drinking and driving in Switzerland, U. Ewert 05.12.2018

Criticism Cascade system of license withdrawal is probably too difficult for all drivers to understand. Maybe change to a penalty point system? Differentiation between punishment and administrative measures is not understood well. License withdrawal is often regarded as the severest punishment. Drinking and driving in Switzerland, U.
