Is drunk driving a problem in your country?

hi Java^^;; here in the Philippines, yest drunk driving is very common and they only catch after you had the accident nobody patrols and check intersection to catch those drunk drivers at night unless an accident already happened. it's an irony, like the saying, "if drunk driving is not allowed, why are there parking lots on bars?"

I believe this issue is a problem for every country. Around my area, most drunk drivers get caught when its too late and they've crashed =/

drunk driving is a very big problem also in my country and especially in cities as people break all rules and drive under the influence of drinking. Drunk drivers are the major cause of accidents which kill and maim people for life.Even though such people are routinely caught and fined by traffic cops still people keep on drinking and driving, not caring that they are playing with the lives of others and also with their own. Such people get away with paltry fines or simple imprisonment of a few days or a month. There should be harsh punishments for drunk drivers. such persons lode their driving licenses but it is no big deal as with bribing officials a new license can be easily obtained.

Yes in our country is also drunk driving si a problem, but i think it's a good rule to avide accidents on the roads we must have to follow this rule for a better socity

Hi,Java09.I should say drunk dtiving is really a serious problem in my country.In the past few months, the media reported a lot of examples abhout this phenomenon.Many people die from some no moral drivers.And the citizens are angry about this.So the government carefully organized a series of special law enforcement actions which have a good affect.The related departement are organizing seminar now and try to change the law.We hope the drunk driver would be punished strictly one day.

Oh ! yes absolutely. It is one of the major cause of road accident. The number of road accident due to drunk driving has increased in the last few years...

I live in the U.S. as well, and drunk driving is a major problem in this country. You would think that people would learn not to drink and drive.

I think drunk driving is a problem everywhere ays going to be some fool who thinks that they can ignore the basic rule that if you dont drink dont drive.Here we have a lot of drunk driving except that in many case this guy is coming from a party and end up in some ditch killing himself and many others in the car becaus eour roads are so winding

Yes it's the main cause of vehicular accidents in our country. Many precious lives got into waste because of this negligence. Many innocent people and children were victimized of this irresponsible act.But some can getaway with their crimes. I wonder if their conscience even bother them or they don't have it at all.

Of course it becomes a problem, other than for self-harm, also too dangerous for others.

Our country has taken a very serious drink driving penalties,caught drink twice, direct canceled driver's license,life-long to prevent car.The drunk driving is very terrible for family .It makes some familyies have lost their loved people.

yes, it certainly is. I think it is often the case in whichever a country because drunk driving is a threat to people's life. But the punishment may vary slightly due to different rules of different countries.

Definitely, i am from india, most of the accidents are from drunk driving only. During night time a lot more accidents are happening. Though police are doing a good job with a lot awareness programme, still most of the accidents are not controllable. The people should take care of avoiding drunk driving

In the UK it is a huge problem since the criminal justice system is flawed. The ones that are convicted just end up in jail for 2-5 years or in some cases just a fine and community sentence. Tbh this can be in some respects the same level as murder and should have a more hefty sentence. not just 2-5 years.
