How many points are deducted for drunk driving?
1 Answers
Drunk driving results in a deduction of 12 points, while driving under the influence (DUI) will lead to the immediate revocation of the driver's license, with no reapplication allowed within 5 years. Breathalyzer tests are not included in DUI identification. According to the standards for criminal evidence collection, drivers suspected of DUI must undergo blood tests for evidence. The data from alcohol monitoring devices used in drunk driving checks is only a preliminary method for traffic police to determine DUI. A conclusive identification is made by comparing the suspect's blood alcohol content. According to Article 91 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, driving a motor vehicle after drinking alcohol will result in a six-month suspension of the motor vehicle driver's license and a fine. If a driver is penalized for driving after drinking and repeats the offense, they will face up to 10 days of detention, a fine, and revocation of their motor vehicle driver's license. For driving under the influence of alcohol, the traffic management department of the public security authority will restrain the driver until sober, revoke the motor vehicle driver's license, pursue criminal liability according to the law, and prohibit reapplication for a motor vehicle driver's license within five years.
