Drunk driving UK, pareri sau cine a mai fost in situatia mea

Spune si cat e alcoolemia permisa in UK. Cand mergi la un chef, nu bei doua beri... Nici pe prietene nu te poti baza, pe acolo femeile beau mai mult ca barbatii.

What penalties can the court impose for drink driving?

In Scotland a drink driving offence brings an automatic "mandatory "minimum 12 month disqualification from driving. A fine is routinely also imposed by the court and this can be up to £5000 although the norm is for fines to be usually less than £1000. Time to pay the fine is usually allowed and instalments are then paid on a regular basis to the Clerk of Court. The court can also impose a period of imprisonment and this is a possibility for those people who have previously committed similar drink driving or road traffic offences. Forfeiture and destruction of the motor vehicle involved in the offence can also be imposed, again normally for repeat offenders but also for first offenders where the drink drive reading was particularly high.

How does the court decide what penalty to impose?

When a person pleads guilty to a drink driving offence the court takes in to account a number of factors and then decides on the appropriate punishment. Most drink driving offences in Scotland are dealt with by disqualification and a fine. Each case is dealt with on the basis of its own unique circumstances but, in general, factors which will be considered that will affect the sentence are:
The circumstances that led to the person driving with excess alcohol
The drink drive reading – the higher the reading the lengthier the disqualification
Whether the driver has previous convictions for drink driving or other road traffic offences
When the guilty plea was tendered – a discount in sentence is given for those who plead guilty at an early stage
The impact of disqualification – whether disqualification will lead to loss of employment , career etc
Multiple factors though influence the sentence imposed by the court and a solicitor should present all of the relevant factors to the court in a carefully constructed plea in mitigation. It may be possible also to ask the court for a place on a Drink Drivers Rehabilitation Programme which is available in some courts – if completed this can reduce the disqualification by a number of months. It is not possible to request to go on such a course after the court hearing so your lawyer should suggest this to the court at the sentencing hearing, if appropriate.
Disqualification when imposed is immediate and you should not drive to court as you will not be able to drive home after the hearing.

Interesant, nu stiam. Credeam ca Scotia face parte din UK, are acleasi legislatie, nu  ca in USA, unde fiecare stat poate avea legislatie proprie.

pai atunci care ar fi scopul parlamentului scotian?

The Scottish Ministers make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 8(3) and (4)(b) and 11(2) and (2ZA)(b) of the Road Traffic Act 1988(1) and all other powers enabling them to do so.
Representative organisations have been consulted in accordance with section 195(2A)(2) of that Act.
In accordance with section 195(4A) of that Act(3), a draft of this instrument has been laid before and approved by resolution of the Scottish Parliament.

In UK poti conduce pana la0,8 la mie in sange,banuiesc ca e valabil si in Scotia, deci "drunk" inseamna sa fi muci, nu sa fi baut un paharel, parca Malta e mai permisiva, pana la 1 lamie. Sunt si ceva restrictii, pt incepatori, soferi de autobuz etc.

daca nu ai avut niciun eveniment in trafic sau alte circumstante agravante probabil o sa iei cu suspendare, plus interdictie de a mai conduce o buna perioada



In Anglia la peste 0,035 esti in ilegalitate, malta are 0,08

Cred ca al nostru initiator e pe la cusca acum, ca nu a mai raspuns...
