The punishment for drunkenness on the roads will have to be toughened

[Патрушев Михаил Владимирович]

Russian President Vladimir Putin said the need to toughen the punishment for driving a car while drunk. This is reported by Interfax.

"We will have to tighten legislation in this area. As the gates opened - the gates of freedom - we began to believe that everything was allowed at all. This criminal, the killer, in fact, he said in conversation with the interrogators:" I always do whatever I want " - said Putin.

"For some things you just need to punish. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work differently ... If you do not, then such tragedies will occur everywhere," RIA Novosti quoted Putin as saying.

According to the head of state, even in the so-called “noble countries” they are very tough on those who commit acts against the interests of society and the state.

Yesterday, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev supported the initiative to toughen the punishment for accidents committed while intoxicated.

On Saturday in Moscow there was a terrible accident. Toyota driver lost control and crashed into a public transport stop. The disaster occurred at about 15:30 in front of the house number 2 on Minsk Street. As a result of an accident, four cars collided, after which one of them flew to a stop. Killed five inmates of the orphanage, the teacher and her husband.

According to police, driver Alexander Maksimov (born in 1982) was a malicious violator of the Rules of the Road. In 2010, he was stripped of his rights for drinking. Six months ago, his rights were returned to him, but during these six months he was caught five times for speeding.

Currently, for a drunken ride, the most severe sanction is imprisonment for up to 9 years.

During the first day of the preventive raid against drunk drivers, inspectors of the Moscow State Automobile Inspectorate identified more than 80 violators of the law.

Also today, the head of the main department for road safety of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, Viktor Nilov, announced that the traffic inspectorate proposes to introduce a total alcohol test on the country's roads and to consider the possibility of confiscating cars from drunken people.

Of course, it is necessary to toughen up, but again they went to extremes - a total check! Next - first to the doctor, then behind the wheel.

 

[Андрей Захаров]

Yeah ... I probably need to toughen it up, especially for committing a fatal accident, committed in a state of intoxication, where in addition to imprisonment you must probably deprive of management rights for life ...

 

[Виталий Климин]

I will say in one sentence: "Drunk at the wheel - a criminal"

I support!
And the consequences that occurred as a result of an accident committed in a state of intoxication must be qualified as occurring as a result of actions committed with indirect intent.
He sat behind the wheel in a drunken state, which means he should have and could have foreseen that consequences could come as a result of his limited actions! Hence the corresponding severe punishment!
If this is not stopped, cases of group death as a result of an accident will become even more frequent !! This is indicated by statistics!

It’s time, but unfortunately everything begins only after resonant affairs.

Drunk drivers will be imprisoned for 15 years

Vladimir Putin, as well as State Duma deputies, spoke out for a serious tightening of the punishment of drunken drivers who caused people to die. These statements are related to the accident on Saturday in Minsk Street in Moscow, in which a drunk driver rammed a stop, knocking down 10 people. Seven of them died.

“Of course, we will have to tighten legislation in this area. Well, what is formulated today does not work for us, it does not work in our society, ”RIA Novosti quoted Putin as saying. - “For some things you just need to punish. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work out differently ... If this is not done, then such tragedies will occur everywhere. ”

The State Duma Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Building is already making a concrete proposal to increase the prison term for motorists who commit such crimes. If now alcohol intoxication adds 2 years to the term, and the maximum term is 9 years, then in the future lawmakers intend to raise the bar to 15 years in prison.

As not toughened measures, the situation, in principle, can not be corrected. As they drank and got behind the wheel, they will still drink - "the Russians are coming."

As not toughened measures, the situation, in principle, can not be corrected. As they drank and got behind the wheel, they will still drink - "the Russians are coming."

This, of course, will not fix the situation right away, it takes time, concrete examples, so that at least some of the drivers become
realize and be afraid!

It is not necessary to toughen criminal sanctions and wait for bloody consequences, but to change administrative legislation. Why wait for grave consequences? Caught drunk at the wheel - 15 days and deprivation of rights for 2 years, then give. Re-caught - deprive the right to control completely. And for management without rights - 15 days. For system management without rights is a criminal responsibility. Moreover, huge fines, not as the main, but as an additional measure!
I once read an article that in one of the states (I don’t remember which one, I won’t lie) for re-attracting for a drunk driving requisition a car in favor of the state, regardless of its value. This is the punishment !!! In fact, everything is logical, cars and weapons are a source of increased danger. If our hunter violates the rules of storage and use of weapons, the Ministry of Internal Affairs confiscates these weapons from him. The same should be with the car - it is also a weapon !!!
