Driver duties and responsibilityQuestion #15725
May a vehicle be driven if the driver is intoxicated?
Explanation
This is one of the most fundamental and strictest bans in the traffic rules. Driving while drunk or under the influence is strictly forbidden and carries the harshest penalties, because it puts the driver and everyone around them in grave danger. The driver must always be sober and in a fit state behind the wheel.
KET reference: KET 14: People who are intoxicated or under the influence of narcotic, psychotropic or other psychoactive substances are forbidden to drive a vehicle.
