Driving a motor vehicle after drinking alcohol results in a deduction of 12 points. The dangers of drunk driving include reduced tactile ability, impaired judgment and operational skills, and visual impairment. Reduced Tactile Ability: When driving after drinking, due to the anesthetic effect of alcohol, the tactile sensations in the hands and feet are lower than usual, often making it difficult to properly control the accelerator, brakes, and steering wheel. Impaired Judgment and Operational Skills: After drinking, the reaction time to light and sound stimuli is prolonged, and the time for instinctive reflex actions is also extended. The coordination between sensory and motor organs, such as the eyes, hands, and feet, becomes impaired. As a result, it becomes difficult to accurately judge distance and speed. Visual Impairment: Drinking alcohol can temporarily impair vision, causing unstable images and reduced color discrimination ability. This makes it difficult to detect and correctly interpret traffic signals, signs, and markings. Additionally, after drinking, the field of vision narrows, and images become blurry, with the eyes focusing only on objects directly ahead. Hazards at the periphery of the vision are difficult to detect, increasing the risk of accidents. Penalties for Drunk Driving: Those who drive a motor vehicle after drinking alcohol will have their driver's license suspended for one to three months and be fined. For driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI), the traffic management department of the public security authority will restrain the driver until sober, impose a detention of up to 15 days, suspend the driver's license for three to six months, and issue a fine. Driving a commercial motor vehicle after drinking alcohol results in a three-month suspension of the driver's license and a fine. For DUI involving a commercial motor vehicle, the driver will be restrained until sober, detained for up to 15 days, have their license suspended for six months, and be fined.
