Demystifying the New DUI Rules!Three major changes that shake your bottom line of safety
Recently, the problem of drunk driving has once again become the focus of social attention, and the implementation of new drunk driving regulations, you may not be aware of the three major changes that are changing our road safety. Traffic accidents are not only worrying, but also a stumbling block to family happiness. Let's take a closer look at these three major changes to build a solid security barrier for ourselves and those around us.
On our familiar roads, the problem of drunk driving has always been a topic of concern. According to the latest statistics, the proportion of traffic accidents caused by drunk driving has reached 232%, and the death toll is as high as 437%。This makes the new DUI regulations a much-needed regulation in the hope of creating a safer traffic environment through stricter regulations.
New regulation 1: Resting in the car after drinking is no longer considered drunk driving
In the past, once you started the vehicle while intoxicated, it was considered drunk driving. The new rules make it clear that if you just rest in the car and don't sit in the driver's seat, you won't be considered drunk driving. This gives us a sensible option to sit in the passenger seat or in the back seat if we need to take a break from drinking, but be careful not to start the vehicle to avoid misunderstandings.
New regulation 2: Moving vehicles in the community are also considered drunk driving
Many people mistakenly believe that moving a vehicle in a community is not considered drunk driving, because the roads in the community are not connected to the outside world. However, the new rules make it clear that whether in residential areas or on public roads, anyone who moves a vehicle after drinking, even if it is just one metre, will be considered drunk driving. Therefore, no matter what the circumstances, you should not operate a vehicle after drinking alcohol to avoid breaking the law.
New rule 3: Drunk driving during rescue is also not advisable!
Imagine that you happen to be drinking, but you encounter a friend who suddenly faints and needs to be rushed to the hospital. In this case, is it possible to call ** to call the police and then drive a friend to the hospital?The new regulations make it clear that drunk driving is still not allowed even after reporting to the traffic police. Although saving lives is a very urgent matter, the potential dangers posed by drunk driving cannot be ignored. Therefore, in any case, driving under the influence of alcohol should be avoided to avoid irreparable consequences.
What are the severe penalties for drunk driving?The new DUI regulations clearly define the penalties for drunk driving. If the blood alcohol content is between 20mg 100ml and 80mg 100ml, it will be considered to be drinking alcohol and driving a motor vehicle. Once seized, they will face a penalty of deducting 12 points, a fine of between 1,000 and 2,000 yuan, and a 6-month deduction of the motor vehicle driver's license. In the case of a driver who drives a commercial motor vehicle after drinking, the penalties are more stringent, in addition to fines and detention, the driver's license will be revoked, and the serious consequences of not being able to re-obtain the driver's license for a long time can be serious.
Decreased sense of touch, errors in judgment, and increased risk of traffic accidents!After drinking alcohol, a person's sense of touch, judgment and manipulation are reduced, vision is blurred, and distance and speed cannot be judged correctly, which increases the risk of traffic accidents. What's more, drunk driving may lead to an increase in the severity of accidents, because it is difficult for drunk drivers to correctly judge traffic signals and signs, find potential hazards, and easily cause accidents and even cause people**.
What kind of criminal liability will I face if I cause death by drunk driving?If a traffic accident caused by drunk driving results in the death of another person, the driver will be suspected of constituting a traffic accident and face serious criminal liability. Where the circumstances are not serious in accordance with the provisions of law, a sentence of up to three years imprisonment or short-term detention is generally given. Those who escape or have other particularly heinous circumstances will be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years. In the case of death by escaping, the penalty will be more severe, and the sentence may be more than seven years in prison.
