But what do we take with us when we travel, because good preparation is half the battle. In this blog we talk about safety in traffic or while partying, read on for our Alcoline holiday tips:
Tip 1: neem alcohol testers to measure whether you or your (almost) adult children blow below the limit. Why? If you are stopped abroad, the rules for driving under the influence are often quite strict. Take Spain for example, where underage alcohol use on bicycles, e-scooters, scooters, etc. is absolutely prohibited. Driving under the influence of drugs is in any case prohibited for every road user. Experienced drivers (+2 years in possession of a driver's license) have an alcohol limit of 0,5 per mille (approximately 2 glasses of alcohol). Inexperienced drivers are allowed to blow a maximum of 0,3 per mille. And approximately how much does that cost? Alcohol > 0,5 ‰ costs €500 – 1.000 euros. Drugs: minimum €1.000.
In France it is even stricter, from 0,5‰: € 135 and disqualification from driving for a maximum of 3 years (vehicle can be confiscated). Driving under the influence of drugs: maximum €4.500 and disqualification from driving for up to 3 years and/or a prison sentence of up to 2 years.
Italy is also not gentle, where a novice driver who blows above 0,00 ‰ must immediately pay € 155. From 0,5‰, a violation costs €535 and/or a driving disqualification of 1 to 2 years. High fines and/or a driving ban are imposed for driving under the influence of drugs.
Drugs in traffic are a major taboo in most countries. Recreational use of cannabis, for example, on holiday can sometimes be beneficial, but you have to be careful in traffic because fines are very high in all countries. So if you are not afraid of a joint or pill, we recommend that you take a number of drug tests with you that are used by the Police during road checks, so that you can be sure whether you can safely participate in traffic. Type 2 is therefore about the DrugWipe 5S or the Dräger Drugcheck 3000, which are the most commonly used drug saliva tests at police roadside checks. These tests are available from stock at Alcoline and cost a fraction of the fines charged by the police.
Type 3 is more in the party scene. We are often asked about tests to check a drink for the presence of drugs. Unfortunately, there are plenty of people walking around on this planet who have completely different thoughts about a fun party. We therefore recommend a number Drink safe tests, this instant drug test detects Ketamine and GHB (the most commonly used date rape drugs) in liquids. Does your drink have a strange taste or do you not trust the friendly person who hands out shots a little too cheerfully? Test your drink and know within a few seconds whether it is bad or not. The Drinksafe costs no more than a drink and you can easily order it on our site.
We trust that these holiday tips have helped you get on your way a little more safely and we wish you a wonderful holiday.
