What is the legal limit for drunk driving in milliliters?
2 Answers
The legal limit for drunk driving is when a driver's blood alcohol content (BAC) is greater than or equal to 20 milligrams per 100 milliliters of blood, but less than 80 milligrams per 100 milliliters, which is considered driving after drinking. A BAC of 80 milligrams or more per 100 milliliters is classified as drunk driving. For drunk driving, the traffic management department of the public security authority will restrain the driver until sober, revoke the motor vehicle driving license, and pursue criminal liability according to the law. The driver will not be allowed to re-obtain a motor vehicle driving license within five years. For driving a commercial motor vehicle after drinking, the penalty is 15 days of detention, a fine, revocation of the motor vehicle driving license, and prohibition from re-obtaining a motor vehicle driving license within five years.
After the last dinner, I specifically looked this up. In our country, the standard for drunk driving is a blood alcohol content of 20mg/100ml. For example, drinking half a bottle of beer could exceed the limit. Once, my friend took just two sips of rice wine before driving and was caught. The breathalyzer test showed 35mg, resulting in a six-month license suspension and a 2000 yuan fine. If it reaches 80mg, it's considered drunk driving, which is a criminal offense that can land you in jail. Important reminder: now, drunk driving also applies to electric vehicles and motorcycles—don't take any chances. Moreover, if a driver on probation is caught drunk driving, their license will be revoked immediately, and they'll have to start all over again.
