Traveling by car through the countries of near and far abroad is a relatively inexpensive and interesting type of relaxation. However, in order for the vacation to really leave indelible and pleasant memories, you need to know and observe all the road rules existing in countries.
The most demanding abroad are to:
— drunken driving;
— improper parking;
— excess speed and passage into the red light of the traffic light;
— smoking and talking on a mobile phone at the time of driving a vehicle.
In Russia, as in many states, drivers are not allowed to drive if the amount of alcohol in the blood reaches 0.3 ppm. Although in Italy, Switzerland and Spain the bar was lowered up to 0.8 ppm. For example, such an alcohol content can be found in a man with a weighing about 80 kg immediately after drunk 100 g of vodka.
Punishment for such violations in different countries differ depending on the consequences. So in Thailand, a drunk driver, whose fault people died, they simply execute, regardless of the status and position in society.
In the United States, a drunken car enthusiast, who will fall for the first time, will pay 300 at. e. and will lose his rights for half a year, and the 10,000 at the third time in a decade. e.
Germany is also «generous» to lovers of drinking. Despite the fact that in this country it is allowed to drive a vehicle with the content of alcohol in the blood up to 0.5 ppm, nevertheless there will be a payers to pay if the digital alcoholtester (for example, such) will show even less than 0.3 ppm. Fines here vary from 500 to 3000 euros.
In the Scandinavian countries, fines for individual tariffs are charged: a person’s financial capabilities are taken into account and, starting from them, a percentage is calculated to determine the amount of punishment. So, a certain drunken bogach driver in Oslo was fined 109 thousand at. e.
A potentially dangerous occupation in many developed countries is considered to be smoking in the car. So far, unfortunately, there are still no official laws prohibiting this bad habit during the wheel, but in some cases smoking can become an aggravating factor. British guardians on the roads were allowed to fine carrier drivers for $ 60, if the former decides that the motorist at the time of this action could have an accident. And absolutely does not matter if the driver smoked ordinary or safe electronic ponc cigarettes.
Fines for speeding in each country its own. The cheapest thing is to swell in Pennsylvania ($ 35), but the most severe punishments are used in Houston. Excess speed of 5 miles/hour will cost $ 160.
Thus, going on a trip abroad, you should carefully and meticulously study all the subtleties of a mechanism called traffic rules. And then no one and nothing will overshadow your journey.
