Bunchuay Thongcharoenphool-phorn, secretary-general of the National Federation for Assisting State Authorities in Reducing Alcohol-Related Problems (FAA), said the devices for testing blood-alcohol levels will arrive from overseas manufacturers in the next three months. The breathalysers will also be given out to insurance companies and a network of 65 universities, he said. Speaking at a seminar, Bunchuay cited statistics showing that 99 per cent of drivers were willing to undergo breathalyser tests, and that the uncooperative 1 per cent comprised mostly politicians and senior government officials.
