Editing Ignition interlock device (section)

====Italy====
In 2024, Italy implemented mandatory ignition interlock devices (alcolock) as part of its revised [[Roads in Italy|Codice della Strada]]. This regulation requires individuals with prior convictions for [[driving under the influence]] to install the device in their vehicles. The measure aligns with EU safety goals and ensures that repeat offenders cannot operate their vehicles while impaired. The costs of installation and maintenance are borne by the offenders themselves, emphasizing accountability. Additionally, there is growing attention to extending the requirement to new vehicles to enhance road safety, aligning with broader European directives, though specific mandates for all new cars are still under discussion.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://mondo-motori.it/news/codice-della-strada-2024-introdotto-alcolock-tutte-le-novita/ | title=Codice della strada 2024: Introdotto alcolock, tutte le novità | date=7 December 2023 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.stradeeautostrade.it/notizie/2023/alcolock-ecco-cose-il-dispositivo-previsto-dal-nuovo-codice-della-strada/ | title=Alcolock, ecco cos'è il dispositivo previsto dal nuovo Codice della Strada | date=29 June 2023 }}</ref>
