Водії на підпитку – небезпека на дорозі

Alcohol or psychotropic substances while driving are one of the most common causes of traffic accidents. Even a small amount of alcohol or other dangerous substances slows down the driver's reaction, impairs concentration and the ability to correctly assess the road situation. And the consequences can be irreversible. Every day, patrol officers detect drivers who get behind the wheel while intoxicated with alcohol or drugs. Unfortunately, the statistics in Transcarpathia are disappointing. Administrative liability is provided for such a violation: a significant fine, deprivation of the right to drive vehicles, and in some cases, paid seizure or confiscation of the car in accordance with the law. However, fines do not stop violators. There are many cases of drunk driving and without a driver's license. Let us remind you that driving by a person who has a temporary restriction on the right to drive is 20,400 UAH. And a repeated violation within one year is 40,800 UAH. Additionally, deprivation of rights for a period of 5 to 7 years and possible paid seizure of the vehicle are provided. Law enforcement officers emphasize: the greatest danger lies not only in violating the law, but also in the risk of human casualties. Due to the rash decision of one driver, passengers, pedestrians and other road users may suffer. Police officers urge: if you have consumed alcohol, do not get behind the wheel. Use public transport, a taxi or ask for a sober driver. After all, one responsible action can save someone's life. A safe road begins with the responsible decision of each driver.
