How to deal with drunk driving below 20?
2 Answers
Drunk driving below 20 is not considered drunk driving and will not be penalized. However, it is not recommended to drive after drinking any amount of alcohol. After drinking, a person's tactile ability, judgment, and operational skills will decrease, and they may also experience visual impairment and fatigue. Therefore, it is not advisable to drive after consuming any alcohol. The standard for drunk driving: If the alcohol content in the blood of a vehicle driver is greater than or equal to 20mg per 100ml but less than 80mg per 100ml, it is considered drunk driving. Driving a motor vehicle after drinking alcohol will result in the temporary suspension of the motor vehicle driving license for one to three months and a fine.
Oh, I remember a friend who was checked for drunk driving with an alcohol level below 20. The traffic police said that since it didn’t meet the legal standard for drunk driving, it’s usually not considered a violation, so there’s no license suspension or fine. However, the police would typically give a warning and advise you not to drive anymore—either find someone else to take the wheel or take a taxi home. If caught, they might check your ID, conduct a simple test, and issue a warning before letting you go. But the problem is, even a tiny amount of alcohol affects reaction time and increases the risk of accidents. I’m extremely cautious when driving—I never touch the wheel after drinking. My advice is to use a mobile app to test your alcohol level, and even if it’s below 20, park and rest—safety first. After all, the consequences of an accident are a hundred times worse than the handling process.
