Recent examples of punishments Bashny.Net

I decided to compare the practices permitted norms ppm for drivers around the world and picked up the best examples of penalties for driving under the influence.




Belarus

Let's start with the neighboring Belarus, where the laws are quite severe, if the rate exceeds 0, 04 ppm for the first time, the driver will pay up to 12 $ 500 and will be deprived of the rights for three years. During a relapse can send to jail - is a criminal offense.



Czech

In the Czech Republic, as well as in some Eastern European countries, for example - Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, adopted "zero tolerance to alcohol", ie 0, 0 ppm, and in case of violations of the law a fine of 200-470 euros.



Croatia

Previously, such a measure applied in Croatia, but under pressure from tourism companies the law was changed, and now the maximum permissible level of alcohol in the driver's blood at 0, 5 ppm - is approximately 40 ml. vodka or a glass of white wine. If the drunk driver violates traffic rules or gets into an accident, it also triggered the principle of "zero tolerance." But the penalty for drunken driving is relatively small - from 70 euros.



Germany

According to a pan-European system of traffic allowed alcohol level shall not exceed 0, 5 ppm. Such a rule is set in almost all Western European countries. However, drivers with less than two years old or under 21 years and taxi drivers get behind the wheel, even with a small amount of alcohol in the blood is strictly prohibited. When the accident occurred, the punishment threatened for any non-zero alcohol content. In Germany, the "well-drunk" driver, fell for the first time, pays 500 euros, the second time - 1000 euros, the third violation cost as much as 3000 euros!



UK

In England, impunity can be used to 0, 8 per thousand, it's almost 2 glasses of wine. But here is the largest in Europe, the penalties for drunken driving - 7200 euros!

By the way, the very first driver fined for drunk driving has become a London taxi driver George Smith: September 10th, 1897, he was fined as much as 25 shillings.



France

In a country of expensive wines for drunk driving, ie drinking more than one glass, the driver threatened with a subpoena and a fine of 135 euros (up to 0, 8 per thousand), EUR 4,500 for exceeding 0, 8 per thousand to 30 thousand euros, if it was an accident. In the case of serious consequences of the accident - 150 thousand euros and 10 years in prison. All motorists France must carry a kit to test for blood alcohol content - and that is interesting, coming out of the restaurant, for example, they need to take advantage of before getting into the car. The absence of such a set with them, respectively, subject to a fine.

Frankly, it is difficult to imagine a rest on the Cote d'Azur respectable tourists who after dinner, with wine, sitting in some Porsche suddenly start measuring at ppm ...



US

In America, everything is strictly: lovers of drink can go to prison for a term of six months to one year, as well as being subjected to prolonged deprivation of a driver's license. Permitted blood alcohol levels - 0, 8 ppm (for drivers over 21 years). The driver for the first time caught drunk (and not become a cause of the accident), it will get off with a fine of $ 300, and deprivation of rights for six months. But it can only be stopped in case of violation of the rules. If he gets the police for the second time in ten years, the penalty can be up to five thousand dollars, in the third - to 10 thousand dollars. If a drunk driver caused a fatal accident, he will receive 10 years in prison, but according to the laws of a particular state standards may be different.

All this for the United States and Europe, where habits are quite tolerant. Let's see how things work in the Asian countries?



Singapore

In Singapore, drivers who ulichat that he sat behind the wheel drunk, can flog. To punish the drunk driver hitting a stick used (more than a meter in length and a thickness of about a centimeter). Besides corporal punishment, the motorist runs a risk to a fine of 200-230 Singapore dollars (one Singapore dollar ~ 0, 75 USD). However, 0, 08 ppm is allowed humanely.



China

In China, the law is particularly severe. One driver, who arranged an accident with fatal outcome, were sentenced to death. If a motorist is caught in a drunken state and party unpleasant driving situations has not yet become, the responsibility would still be a criminal - for the period from 1 month to 6. In addition, deprivation of the rights provided for three years. Well, 0, 0 ppm, respectively.



Thailand

At about the same things and Thailand. Drunken culprit accident in which people died, could be sentenced to capital punishment. Despite this, 0, 05 ppm is still permitted.



Japan

This country is also very hard on the citizens of drunk driving - drunk driver (more than 0, 03 ppm) face serious fines and deprivation of rights for a long time. If drunken perpetrator of the accident fled the accident scene, the rights will be taken away for 10 years. Japan has the "dry law" for drivers. The country is being punished not only the drunk drivers, but passengers when passing them in the car. If the driver would be drunk, his every adult passenger has to pay a fine equivalent to $ 3,000. An exception are not even done for passengers routing and coaches. The driver also faces a minimum fine of $ 8,700 or five years in prison.

Drivers can deprive human life, if it is, driving a car drunk, knocked to the death of one or more pedestrian.

In Japan, the bartender has no right to sell alcoholic beverages, even if he knows that the visitor behind the wheel. For a misdemeanor bar can deny a license.



UAE

In the Emirates, as in most of the Arab countries (and Islamic at all) talk about the punishment for drunk drivers is not possible. It is an offense to use of alcohol itself, as Islam forbids the faithful to touch the wine.
