Head of the Committee State Duma Security and Anti-Corruption Irina Spring has offered to return the “dry law” for drivers. According to her, due to drinking and driving not only increased mortality on roads, but also dramatically increased corruption component, because motorists are traded with the traffic police to keep within the allowed rate.

At the hearing in the State Duma on” The growth of road deaths caused by drunk drivers: causes, consequences and possible counteraction “Irina Spring said that the abolition in 2013 (and it did Vladimir Putin -” MK “)” zero ppm “and the introduction of errors led to a significant increase in traffic accidents with fatal .

«We were initially against the introduction of admissible per thousand, – explained the deputy. – We understand that this measure will be a resolution to drinking and driving. Over the past year, a sharp increase in accidents caused by such drivers. The number of deaths increased by 47%. 1,100 people would still be alive ».

At the same time, Irina Spring believes that” zero – this anti-corruption measure, and when it is as ppm, it is further transformed into much. ” Together with the Ministry of Health and the traffic police she was going to prepare proposals and submit them to the Commission on road safety at the government, which is headed by First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov.

Now according to the Code of Administrative Offences provides for the minimum allowable blood alcohol content ranging from 0.16 milligrams per liter of exhaled air, equivalent to about 0,32-0,36 ppm.

In fact, according to official statistics, traffic police deaths in accidents involving drunk drivers increased by 47.8 % (up to 3420), compared with 2013 year. However, not all so simple. For example, the number of drivers who have sat down behind the wheel while intoxicated, on the contrary, decreased by 17.7% to 13,581 cases. Sami accidents involving drunk drivers account for only 9.4% of the total accident statistics.

– Many MPs like popiaritsya on automotive topics. – Says the vice-president of the movement of Russian Motorists Leonid Olshansky. – But in this case, paradoxically, I will support Yarovaya. The fact that this “promilny” play too vzyatkoemky. The stakes are high, because the drunk driver a few years is likely to remain without a license. In Moscow bribe traffic police officers up to several thousand dollars. But I would have added a second reading amendments concerning a ban traffic police, as they say on the spot examine drivers. This should be carried out strictly in health care facilities, drug professionals with an indication of breath, skin conditions, speech, gait and other parameters.
