Implementing mandatory systems preventing driving under the influence of alcohol, above speed limits and/or without a valid driver’s license, in all new passenger cars from year 2020 will save at least 80 lives and 329 severely injured persons in the period 2020-2030. This is estimated by analysing data from fatal road crashes in Norway during the years 2005-2014, data about car renewal rate, and prognoses for road crashes without implementing new countermeasures. The estimated reduction in fatalities and injuries will be even larger if a mandatory implementation is extended to include motorcycles and mopeds.
