Traffic Police Chief Lucian Dinita told MEDIAFAX this change is a consequence of the number of traffic incidents associated with alcohol or drug consumption, as well as an attempt to align with European standards.

According to Dinita, 487 amendments have been put forward for the bill amending the Traffic Code, including harsher penalties for speeding, DUI or aggressive driving.
