How many days of detention for drunk driving in 2020?
1 Answers
In 2020, drunk driving results in detention for up to 15 days, 12 penalty points, a fine, and a 5-year driving license suspension. Those convicted of drunk driving are permanently banned from operating commercial vehicles. Driving a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of 80 milligrams or more per 100 milliliters is considered drunk driving. Suspects and defendants of drunk driving may be detained or released on bail pending trial, depending on the case. Those who meet the conditions for bail but fail to pay the deposit may be placed under residential surveillance. Serious violations of bail or residential surveillance conditions may lead to arrest.
