Drivers are required to know what the permissible blood alcohol norm is approved in 2019-2020, how many ppm are “legal” when measured with a breathalyzer, and what affects this value, except for alcohol. The minimum dose of drunk, in the opinion of the car enthusiast, will not be exonerated if the traffic police stop and require a test. The deviation of the indicator from the norm is influenced by some familiar products and medicines, which drivers should remember and refrain from using them before driving, so as not to become an intruder.
Permissible alcohol
Such a concept as the permissible norm of drunk alcohol in the blood in 2019-2020 does not exist. The fact is that each organism requires a different dose of alcohol in order to feel intoxicated. 50 g is enough for someone to feel dizzy, and for someone a whole bottle is not enough. But you should not rely on external and imaginary internal manifestations of intoxication. Slowing down the central nervous system reactions begins with the first drunk glass of an alcoholic drink. The minimum dose of 2-3 sips of beer affects the body, and it is not necessary that this is accompanied by obvious signs. A person speaks coherently, does not feel dizzy, but the process in the body is started.
It is a mistake to rely on tables found on the Internet with acceptable amounts of alcohol. Such sources claim that the breathalyzer will not show a deviation from the norm if a person drinks 50 g of vodka. The data posted on the network even shows the rate of weathering of alcohol. If you believe these indicators, a glass of vodka will disappear in 3-5 hours. But it should be borne in mind that each organism both assimilates and removes alcohol in its own way. Fat people sober faster than thin ones, but body weight is not the only indicator; it is affected by lifestyle, metabolic rate, and the state of the gastrointestinal tract. After a strong alcoholic drink, it is advisable not to drive during the day, because even after 12 hours the brain and spinal cord are freed from the residual effects of alcohol.
Important! You can not drive a car with any amount of alcohol drunk. Devices for detecting ppm in the air exhaled from the lungs have an error, so an indicator of up to 0.16 mg / l is considered acceptable. Deviation upwards is a violation. But a breathalyzer shows a similar result not only if a person was drinking and this must be remembered!
Control methods
Testing for the detection of alcohol in two ways:
- Using a breathalyzer, a special device for measuring ppm of alcohol in exhaled air for one breath, exhale.
- Blood analysis. He is handed over at the nearest medical institution to the place of identification of the "suspicious" driver. The second method is used in cases where a person is not able to pass a quick test with the breathalyzer, refuses to carry out the procedure, or is confident in his innocence and groundlessness of the charges made by the traffic police officer.
In 2019-2020, it was established how many ppm is allowed in the blood: the minimum indicator when measuring with a breathalyzer is 0.16 mg / l, and when donating venous blood - 0.35 mg / l.
What affects the result
There are known facts when a device for measuring ppm shows a deviation from the norm, although on this day a person did not drink alcohol. Higher indicators that do not fit into the permissible error of the breathalyzer cause:
- Medicines containing alcohol. Usually it is cough syrup, antipyretic, sedative.
- Products containing live yeast: kefir, kvass, brown bread.
- Oral fresheners.
- Topings for coffee drinks.
- Overripe bananas or citrus fruits.
- Some desserts in which there are a lot of carbohydrates or with alcohol impregnations.
Each organism reacts to what is eaten in different ways, therefore, with such products, drivers should be vigilant and refrain from eating them.
The increased indicator of the breathalyzer is also affected by:
- Malfunction of the appliance, which may break due to improper use. Therefore, if the driver is confident in his "cleanliness", he may ask to replace the device and re-test.
- Scam inspectors. Some DPS officers deliberately fake test results to get paid.
If a person does not agree with the test results, he has the right to demand the delivery of appropriate tests in a medical institution.
Survey
Failure of traffic police officers to measure ppm with a breathalyzer is equivalent to drunkenness. Therefore, drivers should remember a few rules before starting a test:
- It is not forbidden to clarify the error of the device used by inspectors.
- Traffic police must provide information on the date of the last inspection of the device.
- The driver has the right to demand a video recording of the test results.
- During testing, two witnesses must be present, and other traffic police inspectors cannot fulfill this role.
- The driver has the right to see how the inspector unpacks a new disposable tip. No one should touch it before testing.
If, despite confidence in innocence, the device shows more than 0.16 mg / l, the main thing is not to sign the agreement with the indicator. Drivers write down the rejection of the results. After this, you need to quickly get to the nearest medical institution and donate venous blood for analysis. In litigation, the results of the analysis will play a decisive role.
Punishment for exceeding the permissible norm of alcohol in the blood for the first time - deprivation of rights up to 2 years or a fine in the amount of 30 thousand rubles. In case of repeated violation, the fine increases to 300 thousand, imprisonment up to 2 years is added, or imprisonment up to 3 years and forced labor up to 480 hours. Therefore, drivers need to be careful, remember what is the permissible rate of alcohol in the blood in 2019-2020, try not to consume foods that increase the rate, and do not drive.
