Impaired Driving

The Target Zero team set up a full-time patrol of Washington State in the King, Pierce, Snohomish, Yakima, Spokane counties. Local law enforcement officers joined the WSP team during weekends and other general drunk driving times. These multi-sector teams focus their efforts on where there is the best DUI collision concentration

In the first 24 months of this project (from July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2012), in King, Pierce and Snohomish counties:

TZT drunk driving, speeding up and arrested against seat belt fraud incurred fines and commissions of more than $ 14 million

Based on the estimate of the fatal expenses (including social costs) by the Federal Highway Administration, the ROI of the project fund is 115: 1.

WTSC currently provides subsidies to the four state TSRPs. The TSRP program was a target zero program and was identified as a best practice for reducing the incidence of driving damage. TSRP can access the State's Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) Test, Toxicology, SFST, Ignition Interlock, and DRE Program Specialists. The easy access to these materials on behalf of state prosecutors is a great benefit for many prosecutors in our country.

Driving damage was a crime recognized in Canada since 1921. Despite the fact that the operating rate has dramatically declined since the mid-1980s, damage during driving remains a major cause of crime death. Note 1 Operational damage is still an important issue not only for the entire Canadian government, but also for police stations, justice systems, community organizations, and the general public. In Canada, the Penal Code prohibits driving, and the ability to drive a car is at risk from alcohol and drugs. It is also illegal to raise the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of more than 80 mg alcohol relative to 100 ml of blood. Over the last few decades, the federal government has taken several steps to combat damaged driving. For example, several amendments have been made to the Criminal Code to increase the minimum and maximum penalty for driving damage. The latest fix is ​​proposed in July 2008.

Damage during driving is a term that represents a crime against the driving, care, or management of a car in Canada, and the ability of the driver to drive a car is impaired by alcohol or drugs. According to the "Penal Code", damage during driving may be punished by various illegal acts, and damage caused by operational damage is strictly punished. Also, different types of driver's licenses may be suspended. In 1921, the Canadian Parliament first established a simple belief about drunk driving called "drunk driving." At that time, the court interpreted that drinking is not a substantial drinking, not just the influence of alcohol. The minimum penalty for the first offense is 7 days imprisonment. The minimum punishment for the second offense is one month 's imprisonment. The minimum punishment for the third crime is three months imprisonment.

• Most Canadians understand that damage during driving is a criminal offense and is subject to serious penalties. It is safe to say that few Canadians are aware of the impact of insurance due to convictions due to driving violations. Given the complexity of rural and regional car insurance laws, this is not surprising. • Our greatest concern is the impact of driving problems, but we are also working on the problem of "driving without driving". Use this term to include unauthorized, suspended, disqualified, or forbidden driving. Most injured drivers continue to drive at least occasionally without obtaining permission53.
