Key Points
- Four men (26-45) intercepted with BAC 0.93-1.01g/l in roadside tests.

Andorran police have intercepted four male drivers aged between 26 and 45 after routine checks revealed blood alcohol levels exceeding legal limits.
The incidents occurred over the past few days, with readings ranging from 0.93 to 1.01 in separate roadside tests, according to a police statement. All four men now face administrative proceedings for driving under the influence.
Authorities conducted the controls across various locations in the Principality, though specific sites were not detailed. Andorran law sets the maximum permissible alcohol level at 0.5 for most drivers, with zero tolerance for novices and professionals.
No accidents or injuries were reported in connection with these cases. Police emphasised ongoing efforts to enforce road safety amid the holiday period, when alcohol-related incidents often rise.
This follows a pattern of heightened vigilance, as similar operations have yielded multiple detections in recent weeks. Drivers caught with rates above the limit typically receive fines, licence suspensions, and potential vehicle impoundment, depending on the severity.
