What is the blood alcohol content threshold for motor vehicle drivers?
1 Answers
Vehicle drivers with a blood alcohol content greater than or equal to 20 milligrams/100 milliliters but less than 80 milligrams/100 milliliters are considered to be driving under the influence of alcohol and will face administrative penalties according to the law. A blood alcohol content greater than or equal to 80 milligrams/100 milliliters will be classified as drunk driving. Driving under the influence: Under the new Road Traffic Safety Law, the duration for temporarily suspending a motor vehicle driver's license for driving under the influence of alcohol has been increased from 1-3 months to 6 months. If a driver is penalized for driving under the influence and repeats the offense, they will face 10 days of detention, a fine, and revocation of their motor vehicle driver's license. Drunk driving license revocation for five years: The new Road Traffic Safety Law has changed the penalty for drunk driving from temporarily suspending the motor vehicle driver's license to revoking it, with a prohibition on obtaining a new license for 5 years, along with an additional 15 days of detention. For drunk driving of commercial motor vehicles, the penalty has been changed from temporarily suspending the license to revoking it, with a prohibition on obtaining a new license for 10 years. After regaining the license, the driver is prohibited from driving commercial motor vehicles.
