Traffic police officers check drivers for alcohol violations. Some users have claimed that these regulations will see major adjustments in 2026, particularly in relation to drink-driving violations - legally referred to as DUI (Driving Under the Influence). Several platforms have also spread the claim that the fines for DUI - whether involving motorcycles, cars, or even bicycles - will be considerably raised. However, the Traffic Police Agency has confirmed that Decree 168/2024 remains in effect and that there has been no change to the prescribed penalties. The levels of fines for alcohol violations are still being applied as stipulated in the current legal framework, with no increases planned at this time.
