Driving under the influence of alcohol is an irresponsible act. Drunk people have delayed reactions when trying to maneuver a vehicle. That’s why fines are expensive. If driving with the presence of alcohol in the blood in a proportion greater than that provided for in the Penal Code, it is cause for a fine of 2,300 soles.
The penalty also includes suspension of the driver’s license for three years. However, if the offender is involved in a traffic accident, the fine amounts to 4,600 soles and the driver’s license is permanently disqualified. Despite these sanctions, irresponsible citizens drive drunk.
In Junín, from January to date, 6,186 drivers were arrested and tested positive for alcohol.
“From December 20 to 25, 93 people were arrested for drunk driving. If you are going to a social activity, you should avoid drinking liquor. “It is a peculiar fact that occurs in this area, there is a high number of interventions for driving while intoxicated,” said PNP General Danilo Vera Carbajal. The largest number of arrests for the alleged crime of common danger occurs during holidays, where in a single day, 14 to 20 drunk drivers are arrested.
