In 2018, amid an escalation of drink-driving problems, the Moldovan authorities adopted a package of laws to tighten the penalty framework. Part of this package is the initiative to make the restoration of the right to drive lost as a result of drink-driving conditional on the completion of a Drink and Drive programme run within the probation system in the Republic of Moldova, which also includes a 10-hour visit to a hospital emergency ward and a morgue, as well as activities in the morgue involving participation in autopsies or the handling of corpses. The article aims to summarise the background to these measures, take stock of the information we have on similar initiatives in other jurisdictions and discuss the factors that may influence the effectiveness of such an approach and ethical issues.
