엘살바도르에서 음주운전하면 총살이라고?
하도 말도안되는거 같아서 구글에서 직접 찾아봄. 물론 구글에서 검색에서 제일 위에 나오는 기사를 본거니 그게 사실이라는 보장은 없지만 최소한 음주운전하면 총살이라는 어이없는 소리보다는 신빙성 있어 보임. 중요한 penalties 부분만 번역함. 더 아시는 분은 추가바람.
DUI Laws in El Salvador
According to the law in El Salvador, you may be found guilty of DUI if either your blood/breath alcohol content (BAC) is over the legal limit or, regardless of your BAC level, your consumption of alcohol was enough to impair you ability to operate a motor vehicle.
Enforcement
In El Salvador, police enforcement of DUI cases is similar to that performed in the U.S. There is no policy of random breath testing, so police will generally only initiate an investigation when evidence suggests or supports that a DUI has occurred. This includes an officer's personal observations of irregular driving, statements from witnesses or investigations after an accident.
Zero Tolerance
Under El Salvador laws, the legal limit is .01. For all intents and purposes, this amounts to a zero tolerance for drinking and driving. Additionally, unlike in other countries such as the U.S., which imposes different levels depending on whether you are a beginner, experienced or commercial driver, in El Salvador, the legal limit applies to all drivers no matter what level.
Penalties
Under the law, a conviction for DUI results in license suspension and seizure of your vehicle. Additionally, police have the authority to arrest and fine you if your DUI incident is particularly grievous.
법에 따르면 음주운전으로 기소되면 면허정지와 더불어 차량이 압류된다. 그리고 음주운전 사고가 심각할 경우 경찰은 체포 및 벌금을 부과할 수 있다.
Anti-Drinking and Driving Campaigns
In an effort to curb the incidences of DUI, the El Salvadorian Vice Ministry of Transport has found some success in its "Talking About Alcohol" education programs that inform children and youth about the dangers of drinking and driving in the hopes that they will refrain from doing so when they get older.
