Does Drinking Without Driving Count as Drunk Driving?
1 Answers
If you only sit in the driver's seat after drinking without starting the engine or driving, it does not count as drunk driving. Driving after drinking is considered when the driver's blood alcohol content (BAC) is greater than or equal to 20mg/100ml but less than 80mg/100ml. Introduction to Drunk Driving: Drunk driving refers to the act of driving when the driver's blood alcohol content (BAC) is greater than or equal to 80mg/100mL. Drunk driving is generally categorized into drinking and driving and drunk driving. Penalties for Drunk Driving: If a driver is suspected of drinking, traffic police can use a breathalyzer for on-site testing, with the results printed by the device and signed by the tested person on the spot. If the tested person refuses to sign, the test result can still be valid as long as two traffic police officers are present. Driving under the influence results in a 12-point deduction, a fine, and a 6-month suspension of the driver's license.
