PADUO POCTOBA - Радиопатруль - Новые правила проверки пьяных водителей - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

New rules for testing drivers for drunkenness came into force over the weekend. Now motorists are forced not only to breathe into the tube, but also to take tests.

Drunk drivers are now identified in two stages. First, it is a traffic police inspector using a breathalyzer. If the device shows an alcohol content of more than 0.16 ppm, then the motorist is considered drunk and the documents are sent to court. If the driver does not agree with this, then he is sent for a medical examination. There, the driver blows into the doctor's breathalyzer - he has the last word.

Under the new rules, the tests passed by the driver must be checked for the content of not only alcohol, but also drugs. According to the coordinator of the Blue Buckets movement Pyotr Shkumatov, this can have an effect.

This is not the first time the punishment for drunk driving has been tightened. Three years ago, the courts began not only to deprive drivers of their rights for a year and a half, but also to fine 30 thousand. And since last July, criminal liability has been introduced for repeated drunk driving: they can be imprisoned for two years. It would be much more effective to punish drunk drivers with LIFETIME deprivation of their rights, - says Alexander Kovalenko, an expert of the AAA.61 auto portal.

From September 1 this year, another innovation awaits motorists: it will now become more difficult to pass the driving license exams. First of all, the number of test tasks on the site will increase. In addition, a fixed time is introduced for all procedures. And that's not all.

The theoretical part of testing will get more complicated. Now, to pass the theory, you need to correctly answer at least 18 questions out of 20. According to the new scheme, after each mistake, you will need to answer five additional questions. In addition, to obtain category B rights, not three exercises on the site can be assigned, but five. New include, for example, reverse parking and a stop for safe boarding. And to obtain a motorcycle license, you will have to maneuver at speed and drive around five cones on an 80-meter stretch in 25 seconds.

The point system will also become more complicated. A penalty will be charged if the engine stalled at the start (now this is not considered a violation), and five - if the driver ignores the instructor's request to turn around at the intersection. The very principle of conducting the exam in the city will remain the same. True, to the nine existing tasks, the intersection of the railway crossing and the U-turn outside the intersection will be added.
