The driver sends his/her application to the County
Administrative Board along with:
- a medical certificate issued by a specified doctor
- a declaration of intention in which the driver agrees to follow
the specific terms and conditions in the programme
- a contract drawn up between the driver and the alcolock
supplier
- an application fee (SEK 1 000)
After the County Administrative Board has formally approved the
use of an alcolock, the driver must contact an alcolock supplier to
have the device installed. The Swedish Transport
Agency then issues a driving licence with a special condition
code (code 105).
Participation fee
A participation fee of SEK 5 300 shall be paid to the County
Administrative Board. Half of this is due within two months and the
remainder within 14 months of the decision. The Swedish Transport
Agencyb will then issue a driving licence with a special condition
code. A new medical examination must be conducted no later than
four weeks after receipt of this and subsequently every third month
during the entire programme period. The alcolock itself must be
inspected every other month. The information in the alcolock memory
is transferred to the County Administrative Board in connection
with this inspection.
False manipulation leads to exclusion
As a rule, false manipulation of the alcolock and trying to
start the car after alcohol consumption results in exclusion from
the programme. Anyone renting an alcolock is personally responsible
for everything that is recorded in its memory.
N.B. Prior to exhaling into the device, the driver must
rinse his/her mouth with water to avoid an incorrect
reading.
What happens if anyone wants to quit or is excluded from the
programme?
In this event, the County Administrative Board resumes the
process of withdrawing the driving licence and decides on the
length of the driving prohibition period. No credit will then be
given for the time when the conditional driving licence was valid.
Neither will there be any refund of the fee paid.
