How is drunk driving on a motorcycle generally handled?
2 Answers
For individuals driving a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol, the penalty includes temporary suspension of the motor vehicle driver's license for six months, along with corresponding fines. The offender may also face detention for up to ten days, additional fines, and revocation of the motor vehicle driver's license.
Last time I had a little alcohol and rode my motorcycle, I was stopped by the police for a check. They immediately had me blow into a breathalyzer, and my reading was 85mg/100ml. I was issued a ticket on the spot, fined 2000 yuan, had all 12 points deducted from my license, and my driver's license was suspended for six months. I was almost detained, and looking back, it was really scary. Since then, I've learned my lesson—never drink and ride a motorcycle. Otherwise, at best, you'll face fines and points deduction, and at worst, it could affect your work and life. In fact, drunk riding on a motorcycle is more dangerous than in a car, as it's easier to fall and get injured. I suggest my fellow riders arrange for a designated driver before drinking or simply take a taxi home. Safety comes first—don't gamble with your health for a little convenience. Always remember, riding sober is the only reliable way.
