Driving under the influence for our drivers is a burning issue. Some believe that toughening punishment for violation of traffic rules is simply vital. Others argue that the case is useless, nothing can be changed. In this case, all have their own arguments.
It should be taken for granted that the number of vehicles on our roads is steadily growing. And this despite the fact that we all the country regularly crying about their income, there is a large number of cars is clearly not an economy class. Roads are another constant headache for both motorists and pedestrians. In the regions, mostly the road surface is in poor condition, in many places there are no sidewalks. It turns out that cars and people are being thrown on the roadway. Already all this creates dangerous situations. But this is not enough for us, we also do not consider it shameful to sit behind the wheel after a glass. Unfortunately, everyone has their own glasses. The results of our carelessness every day are visible in the summaries of road accidents.
At the moment, according to the law, drunk driving is the most serious violation of traffic rules and socially dangerous act. With this will have to accept the fans of "glasses". Punishment for driving in Drunkenness amounts to deprivation of rights, while for one and a half to two years, a fine of 5,000 rubles and correctional labor. Why such a spread? Our justice is known to be the most humane in the world. We all hope that he will think better of it. For example, such a violation in Europe will unconditionally lead to deprivation of rights for a longer period. And their return will cost no less than 5000 euros, and will also require the re-passing of exams, with addiction. This prospect makes sober 80% of the population, no one even resists. At us deprivation of the rights for driving in a state of intoxicated frightens only the most law-abiding, the others try to "agree".
If the driver was arrested for driving while intoxicated, then the procedure for the survey 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 medical examination, especially if you are sure of yourself and know exactly what is not to blame. Remember that if you refuse the examination, you automatically Declare drunk. You need it! There are precedents when people could not prove the opposite. If the state of intoxication is proved, then the machine is parked, the rights are withdrawn, a protocol is drawn up. Such punishment, as deprivation of rights for driving in a state of intoxication, can be brought only by a court. Before the court, the driver is given temporary rights and a vehicle. The court examines the submitted documents: the medical report, the driver's file with his previous fines (if any), the characteristics of the job, it will play a positive role if there were no violations before. Witnesses are heard. They may be traffic police, medical experts, if there is self-confidence, you can find your witnesses, witnesses, who were present at the time of registration of the protocol. It will not be superfluous to have a lawyer.
The latest amendments to Article 266 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation state that driving under the influence of alcohol is punishable by a fine of 10,000 rubles and deprivation of rights from 5 to 7 years. This is if many extenuating circumstances, with a re-detention, the fine is 50,000 rubles, and perhaps life imprisonment, in severe cases, imprisonment. Is the passion for extreme or simple lack of money worth such money, broken lives and ruined lives.
