Should I be punished if I am caught by the traffic police while driving a loved one to the hospital while driving drunk?

Drunk driving was caught on the spot

Does the traffic police have reason to "let it go" immediately?

On the evening of December 1, a man named Huang from Nanhai, Foshan, Guangdong was found to be driving under the influence of alcohol when he was checked for drunk driving by the road traffic police. Huang said that he was in a hurry to send his son to the hospital. The police used a temperature gun to find that the child had a fever of 39 degrees and decisively came to help. Soon, the child was sent to the hospital for treatment by the police and is now in good condition. Huang was sentenced to 12 demerit points, a fine of 2,000 yuan, and a 6-month suspension of his driver's license for drunk driving.

On the evening of December 4, the Traffic Police Brigade of the Public Security Bureau of Binchuan County, Dali Prefecture arrested a man suspected of drunk driving. After learning that the man and his father drank, the father suddenly vomited blood after drinking too much. In desperation, he drove his father to the hospital for emergency treatment. The police quickly collected evidence, helped him drive to the hospital, and arranged for police cars to clear the way. Five minutes later, the patient was safely sent to the hospital. With the help of the police, the driver was finally sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. "I thought at that time, I must save him!"

"I must save him!" the policeman said.

There are many cases of "drunk driving" like this. When a loved one suddenly becomes ill, the family is extremely anxious. But if you put this kind of love together with "drunk driving", things seem a bit boring.

Topic of this issue: When violations conflict with saving lives, can we show mercy?

We can see that in order to save others, most victims chose to break the law, violate regulations, and take risks. Afterwards, they all said that they knew they couldn't drive after drinking, but the situation was urgent and they didn't care so much, so they drove drunk.

The traffic police also adopt the same law enforcement method: save people first and punish later. Drunk drivers are punished by law with a fine of 2,000 yuan, 12 points on their driver's license, and a suspension of their driver's license for 6 months.

Some netizens believe that the law is nothing more than human feelings, and the traffic police should not be held accountable under special circumstances.

Some netizens believe that the law is merciless and everyone is equal before the law and should not be treated specially. Suffering cannot be used as an excuse for the law. The traffic police rescue people first and then punish them. This is a very humane law enforcement.

Faced with this situation, besides risks, isn’t there a better solution?

While thinking, we might as well look at the consequences of drunk driving. Drunk driving may lead to:

Dangers of drunk driving

1. Decreased tactile ability ?

When driving under the influence of alcohol, due to the anesthetic effect of alcohol, the sense of touch of hands and feet is lower than usual, and people often cannot control the accelerator, brake and steering wheel normally.

2. Reduced judgment and operation abilities?

After drinking alcohol, people's reaction time to light and sound stimulation is prolonged, and they cannot correctly judge distance and speed.

3. Visual impairment?

The blood alcohol content exceeds 0.3. It will cause vision loss, in which case you will no longer be able to drive. If the alcohol content exceeds 0.8, the driver's field of vision is reduced. As for drunk drivers, they can only sense a small portion of their surroundings.

4. Psychopath?

Under the stimulation of alcohol, people sometimes overestimate themselves, often ignore the advice of people around them, and often fail to do what they want.

5. Drowsy driving?

It is easy to feel sleepy after drinking, which is manifested by fatigue driving behaviors such as irregular driving and poor spatial vision.

The consequences of drunk driving

If you are a state cadre or civil servant, I am sorry, but you have been sentenced to death, dismissed from public office, and expelled from the party because you have committed a crime.

If you want to go abroad and need to apply for an immigrant visa or study visa, the visa will be rejected because most countries require a certificate of no criminal record when applying for a visa to go abroad.

If you are involved in a traffic accident due to drunk driving, the insurance company will not compensate you. If you are fired by your employer for drunk driving, I regret to tell you that you will not be able to receive financial compensation.

If you want to start a business, you may not be able to get a business license because of your criminal record.

If you want to work as a lawyer, security guard, aviation, etc., or if you want to enlist in the army, apply for military academies, police academies, civil servants, etc., you will also be restricted because of your criminal record...

If you are the driver of a commercial vehicle, then you need to know that after a drink driving conviction you will not be allowed to drive a commercial motor vehicle.

If you are involved in an accident while drinking or driving under the influence, the cost of injuries and vehicle damage can be even greater. If a motor vehicle is driven under the influence of alcohol or intoxicated and a major traffic accident occurs, which constitutes a crime, criminal liability shall be investigated in accordance with the law, and the motor vehicle driving license shall be revoked by the traffic management department of the public security organ, and the motor vehicle driving license shall not be obtained again for life.

The most serious thing is that it may take your own life.

The happiness of the whole family...

Saving lives requires racing against time, but drunk driving will cost you The doctor's behavior is just not speeding enough. The anxious mood and the numbness of alcohol will destroy more than just a family once an accident occurs.

Traffic police reminder: In an emergency, it is not advisable to take risks. Dial 110 or 120 as soon as possible, or seek help from the traffic police on duty. Passing the green channel as soon as possible is more efficient than seeking medical treatment yourself!
