In 2020, the sentencing for drunk driving depends on whether the behavior seriously endangers public safety. According to new regulations, drunk driving will result in criminal punishment regardless of the severity of the circumstances. Even in the mildest cases where no accidents are caused, offenders will face detention and an unspecified amount of fines. Drunk driving refers to driving behavior where the driver's blood alcohol content is 80mg or more per 100ml. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, the detailed penalties for drunk driving are as follows: For drunk driving of commercial motor vehicles, the traffic management department of the public security authority will restrain the driver until sober, revoke the motor vehicle driving license, and pursue criminal liability according to law. The driver will not be allowed to obtain a motor vehicle driving license again within ten years, and after re-obtaining the license, they will not be allowed to drive commercial motor vehicles.
