People must avoid DUI for their own
and also others safety purposes
It
is a known fact that people must avoid drinking for various reasons. It makes a
person addicted to it, which thereby causes health complications over a period
of time. While it is the personal choice for people to either drink or stay a
teetotaler, they have to consider a few aspects for the safety. This not just
means their personal safety, but also the safety of others around them. This is
very much the fact when people are under the influence of alcohol when they are
behind the wheels. Also called as drunk driving, driving under the influence of
alcohol or even as DUI, it is a
punishable offence that people must avoid to regret later. Different countries
have various levels of punishments as the rule for this crime various from
country to country. Therefore people must learn the rules of that particular
country regarding this issue and know their limits or better still, remain
unfazed by its addictive taste if they are to drive their vehicle.
Different countries have different
regulations for this issue
Let
us consider Australia for example where it is a criminal offence not just to
drive bikes or cars, but also to ride on animals or even on other
transportation objects such as skates, roller blades, etc. Almost all countries
have special equipments such as breathalyzer which allows the law enforcers to
detect if a driver has been under the influence of alcohol or not. Different
countries also have certain rules before they imprison a person based on
several factors. It includes if they are actually drunk or under the influence
of any medicine and if so, if they have any medical authentication for the
same. Apart from this, certain countries also ensure that they provide a
certain amount of freedom for the people by providing a permissible level of
drinking. This legal drinking ensures that the driver who is under DUI is not arrested for this reason.
This can range from the indicator ranging from zero in Nepal and other Arabian
countries, to even no limit as found in the law books of Niger and Kenya in Africa.
In a few other places such Brunei, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, alcohol is
completely banned. Should people get caught for their drunken driving in these
places, they would not only be arrested for being under the influence of such
drugs, but also for buying them illegally. Some countries do not even allow
people to be under the influence of tablets that would cause them drowsiness or
other such results in them.
Impact that people can cause due to
such behavior
The
most common problem that people under influence of drugs or alcohol cause is
the commotion and chaos in their region. This can either be due to reckless or
rash driving, or even due to accidents that they might cause due to the
influence of such products. This would usually lead them to pay a heavy fine
and/or serve time in prison, with bail for such calamities being very
distant.
