Posted 29 June 2014 - 06:50 AM Cozumel is effectively using breathalyzer to identify drunk driving.

6 units of the Public Safety police, and 6 units of the motor patrol are out and about on the island spot checking drivers for driving under the influence.

If you are found to be guilty of "1st level" drunk driving, it means a night in jail. Beyond "1st level" (I believe there are a total of 3 levels) you can receive jail time, fines, and even loss of your vehicle.

In addition, tourist need to be aware, if you have an accident under the influence, your insurance is revoked.

Safe driving.
