Alcohol interlocks — separating drinking from driving
11:00 AM - 11:15 AMBiography
Hello, I'm Brad, the Managing Director of Smart Start Interlocks. My journey in the field of road safety in New Zealand has been driven by a profound passion for creating positive change, particularly in the realm of drink driving.
As the leader of Smart Start Interlocks, I am committed to spearheading initiatives that go beyond traditional approaches. My mission is to revolutionise road safety by leveraging cutting-edge technology to combat alcohol-related harm.
I strive to implement solutions that not only address the immediate challenges but also pave the way for a safer and more responsible driving culture. At Smart Start Interlocks, we are dedicated to providing state of the art solutions that make a tangible impact on reducing the incidents of drink driving.
Join me in the pursuit of a safer and more secure driving environment, where the integration of technology plays a pivotal role in minimising alcohol-related harm. Together, let's make our roads safer for everyone.
