Tom Waes sentenced to an alcohol lock for one year, but how exactly does that work? And can such a lock be circumvented?

A three -month driving ban, a fine and an alcohol lock for one year. To this end, Tom Waes (56) was convicted on Monday after his drunk accident, almost six months ago. But how exactly does ‘the electronic ankle band of the car’ work? And is such a lock easy to circumvent? We ask the Aalst police judge Siegfried Stallaert – for the sake of clarity not involved in the Waes case – and traffic expert Stef Willems of Vias Institute.
