Drunk driving turmoil: The wife asked for help from her drunk driving husband, and the traffic police angrily denounced the lack of safety awareness.
On February 16, 2024, a seemingly absurd but thought-provoking traffic violation was staged in Nanjing. That night, a woman reportedly turned to her husband, who had been drinking, because she was afraid to make a U-turn at a busy intersection. This move was not only seized by the traffic police on the spot, but also aroused heated discussions and ridicule among netizens.
It is reported that the woman encountered a U-turn problem during driving, and because she was worried about rubbing with the battery car at the traffic light, she decided to ask her husband to help. However, she seems to ignore the important fact that her husband has been drinking. When the traffic police questioned the woman, she confessed that her husband had indeed drunk. The traffic police angrily reprimanded him: "He drank and you still told him to drive a U-turn? ”
Although the woman claimed that her husband had only made a U-turn at the intersection, the traffic police said that as long as the drinker drove the vehicle and the blood alcohol concentration reached a certain value, it constituted an offence of driving a motor vehicle after drinking. As a result, the man was fined 12 demerit points, fined $1,000, and had his driver's license suspended for six months.
This incident sparked heated discussions among netizens. Someone joked: "I have all got my driver's license, and I won't turn around ......."More people are concerned about the couple's safety awareness. Some netizens bluntly said: "This is irresponsible for the safety of your own lives and the lives of others." ”
In fact, this incident is not only a simple traffic violation, but also a wake-up call to public safety awareness. Whether it's a holiday or a regular trip, we should keep in mind the principle of "don't drink and don't drive, and don't drink while driving". This is not only a responsibility for oneself and one's family, but also a respect for the safety of others.
At the same time, this incident also exposed some people's disregard for traffic laws and contempt for safe driving. When we encounter difficulties while driving, we should seek a legal and safe solution instead of risking a violation.
