Farewell, sour ...

The State Duma adopted a law introducing a complete ban on drinking alcohol before they get behind the wheel. Now for the held instrument readings above 0.0 ppm can lose the rights for two years. On Friday, July 2, 2010, the State Duma in the third final reading passed a law that introduces a total ban on the presence of alcohol in the driver's blood. Persons who are behind the wheel of alcohol, drugs or other toxic substances will be denied a permit for a period of 1,5 to 2 years old. Duma approved the bill to receive approval in the Federation Council and the signature of the president of Russia. In view of the fact that it was Dmitry Medvedev, has initiated a review of these amendments, it is only a matter of time. President in December of this year noted that the Russians are not yet ready to allow them to drinking and driving, even in small doses. Dmitry A. believes that the limited resolution provokes drunken driving. In March he introduced a bill to the deputies. Introduced 2 years ago, July 1, 2008, the rate of content in the body driver, is up to 0.3 ppm per liter of blood, or to 0.15 mg per liter of air, will be excluded from the Administrative Code. As well as the relevant changes will be made in art. 19 of the Law "On Road Traffic Safety." Change to take effect in January 2011. According to the head of traffic police Victor Kiryanov, the rate of 0.3 ppm was recommended by the Health Ministry, but that does not mean it's permission and before a trip can be a little bit "to take on his chest." Where one glass, there is two, as they say, came a drop in the mouth - Fill a bucket, it is one of the weaknesses of the Russian people. With this ban MPs hope to reduce the number of traffic accidents committed by the fault of drunk drivers. According to statistics, in 2009 there was 12,327 accidents involving drunken drivers, in which 2,217 people died and 18,207 were injured. But compared to the year 2008 the number of such accidents has decreased by 9,4%, the mortality in them decreased by 7%, and the injuries - on 8,4%. On average last year, 7.1% of the accidents happened because of drunk drivers. Former head of the SAI of Russia Vladimir Fedorov believes that it is not necessary to cancel the permissible norm. He refers to international law, according to which Russia should be permissible level of alcohol in the blood, which must not exceed 0.5 ppm. Fedorov was one of the initiators of the introduction of standards in 0.3 per thousand two years ago. He believes that in humans there is always a small dose of alcohol. Under current rules until at 0.3 ppm, an adult male weighing about 80 kg may have a glass of dry wine, a bottle of beer or 40 grams of vodka. Adopted in 2008 permitted rate allowed without fear to drive people who take drugs containing alcohol, such as validol and Corvalol. In addition, the blood of people with diabetes, held instrument can show 0.1 ppm. And do not forget about a possible error of the device itself, which ranges in the area of ??just 0.1 ppm. Some drinks and foods have come under suspicion: non-alcoholic beer, kvas and other fermentation products, as well as yogurt, mare, yogurt and other dairy products, some lemonade, filled with spirit essences syrups and Kombucha. Completely exclude them from the diet of the driver is not necessary, as will Breathalyzer alcohol in the blood, to use them in very large quantities. For example, drink 3 liters of kvass or yogurt just before the trip. Text: Olga Zabelkina.
