Why is the fine for having alcohol or drugs in the blood so expensive?
Currently the fine for driving with alcohol or drugs in the blood has a price ranging from $279,600 to $1,398,000 depending on the level of severity of each case. It is important to keep in mind that these violations are accompanied by the driver’s license retention for a minimum of 6 months and the impossibility of paying the fine at 50% of its value, since that opportunity is only available for low-level violations.
The severity of fines for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs seeks to prevent accidents and save lives. The main tool used to measure blood alcohol level is the breathalyserwhich performs a test using the air inhaled by the driver. This test is fast and effective since in less than 3 minutes it shows you whether the driver was drinking or not.
