\nExplanation: Alcohol affects the central nervous system, reducing the driver’s attention, reaction time and judgment ability.<\/p>\n
Example: At a blood alcohol level of 0.05 per mille, a decrease in driver’s attention and a prolonged reaction time are observed, while at a level of 0.08 per mille, judgment ability is seriously affected.<\/p>\n
2. Traffic Fines and Legal Consequences
\nExplanation: Drunk driving brings with it certain traffic fines. These fines vary depending on the level of alcohol.
\nExample: In Turkey, drivers detected with an alcohol level of 0.50 per mille and above are subject to penalties starting from 1,800 TL and sanctions such as the seizure of their driver’s license for 6 months.
\n3. Possibility of Prison Sentence
\nExplanation: In cases of serious drunk driving, there is a risk of being sentenced to prison by court order.<\/p>\n
Example: If a driver is driving with a blood alcohol level of 1.00 per mille or more and causes an accident, there is a high probability of being sentenced to 1 to 3 years in prison.<\/p>\n
4. Breathalyzer Checks
\nExplanation: During traffic checks, drivers are checked with a breathalyzer and their alcohol content is determined.<\/p>\n
Example: If a driver is detected with a breathalyzer of 0.65% during a check conducted at night, they will face procedures such as fines and confiscation of their license.<\/p>\n
5. Temporary or Indefinite Revocation of the Driver’s License
\nExplanation: In cases of repeated drunk driving, the driver’s license may be permanently revoked.<\/p>\n
Example: A driver who is convicted of drunk driving twice within three years may have their license revoked indefinitely by court order.
\n6. Insurance Problems
\nExplanation: Insurance companies may not pay compensation in accidents that occur as a result of drunk driving.<\/p>\n
Example: If a driver has an accident while drunk, the insurance company may reject the compensation claim based on the driver’s alcohol level.<\/p>\n
7. Increase in Penalties and Additional Sanctions
\nExample: In cases of repeated drunk driving, penalties may continue to increase.<\/p>\n
Example: While the first penalty is 1,800 TL, the second penalty is 3,600 TL and the third penalty is 7,200 TL, a system is applied that increases.<\/p>\n
8. Legal and Social Effects on Society
