During the process of developing the Law project, the Drafting Committee carefully evaluated the impact of alcohol on drivers. Based on research and evaluation, there are two grounds to set a zero alcohol concentration regulation:
Firstly, to ensure consistency in the current legal system, in which the Law on Prevention of Harmful Effects of Alcohol has regulations prohibiting vehicle drivers from using alcohol before and while driving.
Second, from current practice, it shows that many traffic accidents cause serious consequences, the main cause being the driver drinking alcohol before driving the vehicle. According to statistics, in the past year, 43% of traffic accidents were at fault due to the driver’s alcohol use.
In recent times, the Ministry of Public Security has specialized in preventing the harmful effects of alcohol on drivers participating in traffic and handling violations of alcohol concentration.
Accordingly, with that determination, no restricted areas, no exceptions, last year more than 1,900 deaths from traffic accidents were reduced. In particular, accidents caused by drivers using alcohol have clearly reduced all three criteria. This is a very impressive reduction, and is also the basis for the absolute ban on alcohol concentration while driving.
The drafting committee evaluates that this regulation will ensure the right to protect the life and health of traffic participants, without affecting economic and social development, but only changing habits, make society more civilized and healthy.
