Drunk driving has always been a real disaster on the roads. And for good reason, it is one of the main causes of death on the roads in France, and has remained so for many years. According to Road Safety, responsibility for alcohol 30% of fatal accidents. Suffice it to say that driving under the influence of alcohol is extremely dangerous, as the risk of a fatal collision increases 17.8 times. However, this practice is still very common today in France, even if there are already very strict sanctions. But the government would like to go a little further.

Zero tolerance

After a serious traffic accident that took the lives of three young police officers a few days ago, the President of the National Assembly spoke. Yaël Braun-Pivet appeared in front of the microphone of Sud Radio and reminded about the dangers of drunk driving ” you drink, you don’t drive. I believe that when you drive a car and you are either drunk or under the influence of drugs, you are dangerous because the car becomes a weapon.“. She even performs zero tolerance for drunk drivers.

Without alcohol

She states that ” zero alcohol zero drugs when you drive and if you drink do you go home or not“. However, there is a very low probability that this request will be successful and that the government will apply more stringent measures. However, the latter really wants to tighten the nuts, while a revocation of driver’s license in the case of driving a vehicle while intoxicated has already been provided for. But nothing has been done yet, and it may be a long time before it is implemented.
