The traffic police reminded of the responsibility for driving under the influence

The traffic police of the Pskov region appealed to drivers with a warning about one of the main threats on the roads - driving while intoxicated. According to the inspection, it is drunk drivers who regularly become the culprits of serious accidents in which people die and suffer.

Even a small dose of alcohol critically affects the ability to drive:

At risk are not only the driver himself, but also his passengers, other road users, as well as pedestrians, including children.

For the first traffic violation provides for a fine, administrative arrest up to 15 days and deprivation of driving license.

In case of repeated violation (including refusal of medical examination), criminal liability already comes: a fine of up to 300,000 rubles, compulsory or forced labor, as well as imprisonment for up to two years.

The State Traffic Inspectorate urges drivers to take a responsible attitude to the choice - to get behind the wheel only in a sober state. The awareness of each participant of the movement remains the main tool for preventing accidents on the roads.
