An innovative interactive breathalyzer designed to reduce drink-driving cases is being piloted in the UK for the first time this December.

The automated machine, created by two Belgian brothers after their grandmother was killed by a drink-driver, is set to make its debut at the Mill on the Exe pub in Exeter.

The technology aims to encourage responsible drinking during the festive period by allowing pub-goers to test their alcohol levels before deciding to drive.

If the trial proves successful, the breathalyzer could be rolled out across Devon and Cornwall next summer.
