Driving Under the Influence of Drink or Drugs
Driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or drugs is a serious offense that poses significant risks to public safety. It is illegal to drive if the level of alcohol in your breath, blood, or urine exceeds the legal limit, or if you are deemed unfit to drive due to the influence of drugs, whether they are legal or illegal substances.
Key Points:
Strict enforcement of alcohol limits:
Authorities are vigilant in monitoring and enforcing alcohol consumption limits for drivers. Even small amounts of alcohol can affect your reaction times and decision-making, making it dangerous to drive.
Impairment from legal and illegal drugs:
It’s important to remember that not only illegal drugs but also prescription and over-the-counter medications can impair your ability to drive. Certain medications can cause drowsiness, dizziness, or slower reaction times, which can be just as dangerous as driving under the influence of illegal drugs.
Penalties:
- • Imprisonment, fines, driving disqualification, and criminal records.
