Now drivers caught drunk or under the influence of drugs while driving can be sent to prison: the Parliament of Moldova approved tougher penalties

Members of parliament by a majority vote approved tougher penalties for drivers caught driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Members of the Parliament of Moldova by a majority of votes approved tougher penalties for drivers caught driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Thus, they face unpaid community service or imprisonment for up to 1 year with deprivation of the right to drive vehicles.

For those who, while drunk, cause a serious or fatal accident, the innovations provide for an increase in the term of imprisonment to 15 years.

A sentence of 3 to 7 years awaits those drivers who get into an accident while drunk and escape or find themselves driving without a driver’s license.

Harsh, but in our opinion, fair.
