The Local Police of Cartagena will carry out from December 12 to 18 a Campaign for monitoring and control of alcohol consumption during driving in the municipality of Cartagena, in collaboration with the General Directorate of Traffic.
In order to guarantee a greater awareness of road safety in the face of these Christmas holidays, through the Judicial Traffic Police section of Cartagena, blood alcohol tests will be carried out on the streets of the city.
It should also be remembered that the Road Safety Law is very strict in this respect to the consumption of narcotic drugs, therefore it prohibits driving with the presence of drugs in the body, although it is excluded the substances that are used under prescription facultative and with therapeutic purpose.
The Penal Code provides for drivers driving under the influence of alcoholic beverages, toxic drugs, narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances, imprisonment for three to six months or a fine of six to twelve months or work for the benefit of the community of thirty-one To ninety days, and, in any case, deprivation of the right to drive motor vehicles and mopeds for a time exceeding one and up to four years.
The Law on Road Safety, the General Circulation Regulation and the penal code set the rules applicable to the maximum and generic limits of alcohol allowed during driving, where non-compliance with these rules is classified as a serious or very serious Driving license and prison sentence in your case.
Alcohol is present as a concurrent or triggering factor in one third of fatal accidents.
Their presence in driving depending on their rate, multiplies between 2 and 15 the risk of an accident.
