Drunk driving for our drivers is a hot topic. Some believe that tightening the punishment for violating traffic rules is simply vital. Others argue that this is a futile affair; nothing can be changed. At the same time, everyone has their own arguments.
It must be taken for granted that the number of vehicles on our roads is growing steadily. And this despite the fact that we the whole country regularly cry over our incomes, a large number of cars are clearly not economy class. Roads are another constant headache for both motorists and pedestrians. In the regions, mainly the road surface is in poor condition, in many places there are no sidewalks. It turns out that cars and people are hustling on the roadway. All this creates dangerous situations. But this is not enough for us, we also do not consider it shameful to drive after a glass. Unfortunately, everyone has their own “glass”. The results of our carelessness are visible every day in traffic accident reports.
At the moment, according to the law, drunk driving is the most serious violation of the rules of the road and a socially dangerous act. Lovers of "glasses" will have to put up with this. Punishment for driving in
drunk amounts to deprivation of rights for a year and a half to two years, a fine of 5,000 rubles and
correctional labor. Why such a scatter? Our justice, as you know, is the most humane in the world. We all hope that they change their minds and get better. For example, such a violation in Europe will unconditionally lead to the deprivation of rights for a longer period. And their return will cost at least 5,000 euros, and will also require retaking exams, with an addiction. Such a prospect sobering up 80% of the population, no one even resists. In our country, the
deprivation of a license for drunk driving scares only the most law-abiding, while the rest try to “agree”.
If the driver has been detained for drunk driving, the survey procedure follows. That is, first the driver will be allowed to blow into the tube. But it should be remembered that the breathalyzer is not the ultimate truth, the final conclusion is made only after a blood test. Therefore, you can not refuse a medical examination, especially if you are confident in yourself and know for sure that you are not to blame. Remember that by refusing an examination, you will automatically
declared drunk. You need it! There are precedents when people could no longer prove the opposite. If the state of intoxication is proved, then the car is parked, the rights are seized, a protocol is drawn up. Such punishment as deprivation of the rights for drunk driving can only be passed by the court. Prior to trial, the driver is granted temporary rights and a vehicle. At the court, the submitted documents are studied: a medical report, a dossier on the driver with his previous fines (if any), a
description from the place of work, she will play a positive role if there were no violations before. Witnesses are being heard. They can be traffic police officers, medical experts, if you have confidence in yourself, you can find your witnesses, witnesses who were present during the execution of the protocol. A lawyer will not be amiss.
The latest amendments to article 266 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation state that drunk driving is punishable by a fine of 10,000 rubles and deprivation of rights from 5 to 7 years. This is if there are many extenuating circumstances, with repeated detention the fine is 50,000 rubles, and life deprivation of rights is possible , in severe cases imprisonment. Is a passion for extreme sports or simple disorder worth such money, broken fates and ruined lives.
