Uber partners Gurgaon Police to curb drunken driving

Online taxi aggregator Uber today said it has partnered with Gurgaon Police for installing breathalysers at bars and pubs in a bid to help them curb drunken driving in the city.
The first four Uber Breathalysers have been installed at DLF Cyber Hub.
The Uber Breathalyser is a kiosk that calculates the blood alcohol content (BAC) in a person's body through an app that is fixed to the device.
If the person's BAC is higher than 0.03, they are advised to avoid driving and instead take a cab.
Earlier this month, Ola had partnered with Delhi Police for a similar initiative in Delhi.

"The Gurgaon Police has been committed to ensuring the safety of the residents of Gurgaon. We believe that Uber breathalysers are a great innovation, which can help spread awareness against drinking and driving and improve road safety," Navdeep Singh Virk, Commissioner of Police, Gurgaon said.
Gurgaon is the second city to launch Uber Breathalysers after Mumbai.
