As per The Motor Vehicle Act, driving by a drunken person or by a person under the influence of drugs is punishable for the first offence with imprisonment for a term of upto six months and/or with fine which may extend to two thousand rupees although, it is rarely imposed.

The legal limit for alcohol consumption is 80 mg per 100 ml of blood (40 mg/100ml in case of women) while driving. The limit can be reduced by 50 mg if the driver has consumed alcohol within 4 hours before driving or 70 mg after 4 hours. A person who fails to provide a breathalyser sample will face a Rs. 5000 fine and 5 years imprisonment if it detects alcohol above 10 milligrams per 100 ml or above 30 milligrams per 100 ml, respectively.”

Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a serious crime. If anyone is arrested for driving while intoxicated, they could go to jail, get their license revoked, and face hefty fines. To make drunk driving a serious crime and prevent repeat offenders, several states have introduced laws that require all drivers to submit to breathalyser tests upon request by law enforcement officials. This process may either be voluntary or mandatory for all drivers in the state.

Sale of motor vehicles to persons who are under the age of eighteen as indicated by the Motor Vehicle’s Register. The sale of motor vehicles or motorcycles over two or more seats without a person accompanying them in the driver’s seat is prohibited.

 

The word “impairing” has been used to denote such a state of consciousness that it is possible for the driver’s behaviour to be influenced by the drug and so render him incapable of exercising proper control over his movements, and this is the reason why he is said to be under “the influence”.

conclusion :-
This bill aims to enhance the penalties for drunk driving and provide for higher level of fines, punishment and detention in case of death.
