Barbados possesses a comprehensive legislative framework for addressing Driving Under the Influence (DUI) and enabling breathalyzer testing, primarily established through the Road Traffic (Amendment) Act, 2017. This legislation defines specific offences, sets prescribed Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) limits at 0.08 g/dl (or its breath equivalent of 35 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath), and outlines penalties for violations and test refusals. However, the full operational enforcement of widespread breathalyzer testing, which was initially anticipated for January 1, 2020, has encountered significant and prolonged delays. Official statements attribute this postponement primarily to a governmental policy linking its rollout to the prior establishment of a fully functional metered taxi system, complete with a supporting mobile application—initiatives that are themselves still under development. While The Barbados Police Service has reportedly undergone training and is equipped and legally empowered to conduct breathalyzer tests, particularly in instances of accidents resulting in serious injury or death, the practice of routine and random breath testing as a proactive deterrent is not currently standard operational procedure. This gap between legislative capacity and on-the-ground enforcement has drawn persistent calls for urgent action from road safety advocates and some political figures, who emphasize the critical need to address drink-driving to improve road safety. This report underscores the necessity of re-evaluating the policy interdependencies that impede the breathalyzer system's full activation. Prioritizing road safety may require decoupling the breathalyzer initiative from other infrastructural projects if such linkages continue to cause delays. Concurrently, strengthening public education efforts and establishing robust, transparent mechanisms for collecting and reporting data on alcohol-related road incidents are identified as crucial supporting actions.
