There are adjustments to the drunk driving regulations These 3 practices are no longer considered drunk driving, and the new rules are more humane
In recent years, drunk driving accidents have occurred frequently in China, which has brought a serious threat to the safety of people's lives and property. In order to curb this phenomenon, the national transportation department has been stepping up investigation and punishment, and has issued relevant regulations.
However, some car owners still have doubts and misunderstandings about the rules of drunk driving.
Recently, the new regulations on drunk driving have sparked heated discussions among car owners. The new regulations remove three behaviors from the definition of drunk driving, which makes many car owners feel very gratified.
First, we need to understand the definition of drunk driving.
Drunk driving refers to the behavior of the driver of a vehicle whose blood alcohol content exceeds a certain standard, which affects his or her ability to drive.
According to the relevant regulations, when the blood alcohol content of the driver of the vehicle is greater than or equal to 20mg 100ml and less than 80mg 100ml, he is regarded as drunk driving;When the alcohol content is greater than or equal to 80mg 100ml, it is considered drunk driving.
However, in the actual law enforcement process, some car owners have doubts about the identification of drunk driving. Why are they judged to be drunk driving because they think they have only drunk a small amount of alcohol and have not reached the level of drunk driving?
In response to this problem, the new regulations adjust the criteria for determining drunk driving, and remove three behaviors from the definition of drunk driving.
The first behavior is driving after drinking alcohol in an emergency evacuation situation.
In real life, sometimes car owners encounter an emergency after drinking, such as a sudden illness in a family member, emergency rescue, etc., and need to drive to the hospital or rescue site immediately. In this case, driving after the owner has consumed alcohol is no longer considered drunk driving.
However, the owner of the vehicle must first report to the relevant authorities and drive away from the scene on the premise of ensuring safety.
This provision fully considers the actual needs of car owners, and gives a certain degree of tolerance under the premise of ensuring safety.
The second type of behavior is drinking alcohol while the vehicle is stationary.
The past rules required car owners not to move their vehicles after drinking alcohol, otherwise they would be considered drunk driving.
However, in real life, some car owners need to move their vehicles for various reasons after drinking alcohol. In order to deal with this situation more humanely, the new regulations allow car owners to drink alcohol while guaranteeing that the vehicle is absolutely stationary.
This means that the owner can drink alcohol after parking, as long as the vehicle is not moving. This regulation reduces the burden on car owners and increases the flexibility of law enforcement.
The third behavior is parking in a gated complex.
Past regulations required car owners not to drink alcohol while parking in the complex, otherwise it would be considered drunk driving.
However, in real life, some car owners drink a small amount of alcohol while parking in the complex. In order to deal with this situation more rationally, the new rules allow car owners to drink alcohol while parking in gated communities, as long as the vehicle is not moving.
This regulation takes into account the actual needs of car owners and gives a certain degree of tolerance on the premise of ensuring safety.
The introduction of these new regulations has attracted the attention and welcome of the majority of car owners. They believe that these regulations are more humane and rational, and can better balance traffic safety and the actual needs of car owners.
These regulations also remind car owners to stay sober and cautious after drinking alcohol and not to risk driving a vehicle.
However, there are also some concerns that these new regulations may lead to some car owners abusing these terms, creating safety risks. Therefore, law enforcement agencies need to strengthen publicity and education, so that the majority of car owners understand the true meaning and scope of application of these regulations.
At the same time, there is a need to strengthen supervision and law enforcement, and to crack down on and punish abuses of these provisions.
In short, the introduction of the new regulations on drunk driving has played a positive role in both traffic safety and the actual needs of car owners. These regulations fully consider the actual needs of car owners and the needs of traffic safety.
