Booze-testing boom gates for Vic car parks
AAP
Boom gates fitted with devices to test drivers' blood alcohol levels will be trialled in Victoria in a bid to curb the state's road toll.
The "alco-gates" will be trialled at the exit of some licensed venues, with drivers having to provide a breath sample and only allowed to leave if their reading is under the 0.05 limit.
The Transport Accident Commission is developing the trial which is based on similar gates used in Sweden.
