Drunk or drugged drivers may be left without a car – the changes were announced by the governors

Interior Minister Katelin Predoyu has announced that he will propose changes to drug laws so that a drug test is carried out during the test for obtaining or renewing driving licenses revoked due to the use of illegal substances, and that cars found in which drugs are found are impounded. It also proposed suspension and cancellation of registration if the vehicle does not have an RCA, similar to the current ITP decision.

Marcel Čolaku reacted by saying that the measures announced by Preda were “a step forward in the right direction, but not enough” and that he expected the police to “fight drug traffickers much more effectively”.

Those who drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs could be left without a car, Prime Minister Marcel Čolaku said on Saturday, as he said the legislative changes would be introduced during the first two weeks of the current parliamentary session.

Measures to amend the legislation were amended by PSD Senator Robert Kazanchuk:

• “Unlike the Anastasia Law, which sends to prison those who kill innocent people on the roads, get behind the wheel in a drunken state, under the influence of drugs or without a license, I proposed today at the SDP leadership forum specific actions, given that extreme actions require appropriate laws. A wider package of measures, 12 identified in the first phase, targets those who sell or use drugs.
• The strengthening of fines, as well as the criminalization of actions that contribute to the circulation and consumption of drugs, will be considered.
• Legislative changes will be initiated that will increase the penalties for drivers who get behind the wheel under the influence of alcohol or drugs, such as a 10-year disqualification. We will analyze European law and CCR practice to identify the legal framework that allows even confiscation of a vehicle driven by a person under the influence of drugs or psychoactive substances.
• Among the specific measures discussed are equipping the police with mobile scanners to check cars or equipping the Romanian post office with the necessary equipment to scan all parcels entering Romania for a drug-free visa, as well as clear procedures for all couriers. international companies.
• One of the proposals that was recognized as useful was the opportunity offered to parents to undergo 2-3 annual tests to detect possible drug use by minors, and in case of positive results, to conduct 10 psychological consultations. Both testing and counseling will be conducted in complete confidentiality. Proposals were also made to conduct testing with the support of schools and with the consent of parents.
• I believe that early detection and treatment of drug use can save from addiction.”
