Penalty for drunk driving in 2016

Disregard for all road users, as a rule, is expressed in drunk driving. It is possible to reason with unscrupulous drivers by the threat of deprivation of a driver's license. In addition, the State Duma has initiated other preventive measures for repeated offenses in the form of huge fines and real criminal prosecutions. More about everything.

I drank - do not drive

It is not necessary to nod at the stipulated norms of alcohol, so to speak, permissible. The value of 0,16 ppm is used only for the error of breathalyzers - devices for examining the condition of the driver.

Deprivation of rights and other consequences

In addition to the selected documents for a fixed period, other troubles await unlucky drivers. Like that:

• Penalty for the first "hit" - 30 thousand rubles... Agree, an amount comparable to the monthly salary of a metropolis is sensitive. What can we say about the income of the population in monotowns. In addition, the payment is required in a lump sum and on time. In this case, the deprivation of rights is also carried out and is not discussed.
• Monetary losses in the amount of 30 thousand rubles threaten the owner if he entrusted his vehicle to a drunk friend. Then the traffic police officers have the right to punish both - the driver with deprivation of rights and a fine, the owner - only with a fine.
• For refusing to be examined for intoxication, employees have the right to prevent the movement of the car and deliver the offender to the office against his wishes. The situation is equated to drunk driving and is punished accordingly. The vehicle is taken to an impound lot, from where it will have to be redeemed.

Getting a driver's license is long and painful. You will have to pass exams on the theory of traffic rules and pay all the existing fines attributed to the owner of the car. Otherwise, the term for obtaining rights will stretch indefinitely.

Repeated offense

Some drivers itch and repeated "flying" for them is a common thing. In this case, the offense is considered a criminal offense. As already mentioned, lawmakers have tightened measures of influence on repeat offenders and by the summer of 2016 they will work, although now there is nothing pleasant for violators. For example:

• The term of deprivation of rights has been increased - it is 3 years... Receiving documents back is carried out according to the algorithm described above.
• The penalty has increased. Now for the worst offenders, they will have to pay 300 thousand rubles, which is practically unfeasible at a time. And since the terms are strictly fixed, the driver will have to resort to bank lending services.
• A drunk driver caught more than once is also liable in criminal terms. The term of imprisonment with an accompanying burden (imprisonment, fine) is provided for an impressive - up to two years.
• A drunk car owner who gets caught can be punished with forced labor if his driving did not lead to serious consequences - death or bodily harm. But in this case, the rights are withdrawn and the fine is fixed.

In this case, it is impossible to "pity" the driver - a repeated offense characterizes him as a stupid and selfish person who, for the sake of his own desires, exposes relatives and absolutely unknown people to danger.

So, the problem of drunkenness while driving is becoming more evident. Until 2015, threatening statistics loomed, which is why the lawmakers decided to toughen the penalties. Should you become the subject of someone else's trouble, getting dubious pleasure from drinking alcohol?
