Penalties for Drink-Driving Up, Administrative Detention to be Introduced

This week, Parliament considered in the third reading and approved a bill for penalties for drink-driving to increase and administrative detention to be introduced for certain cases.

MPs Aleko Elisashvili and Levan Ioseliani proposed the planned amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses to the Parliament, which were supported by the ruling team.

Within 60 days, the following administrative sanctions shall enter into force:

 

Transferring a vehicle for driving to another individual: 

Transfer of a vehicle for driving with prior notice to a person under alcoholic influence will result in a fine of GEL 1500, up from GEL 1000.

Transfer of a vehicle for driving with prior notice to a person under psychotropic or drug influence will result in a fine of GEL 2000, up from of GEL 1000.

Repeating the above actions will result in a fine of GEL 2500.

Driving a vehicle under the influence of alcohol:

Responsibility is determined by the ethanol amount in the blood for the first time. No less than 0.3 and no more than 0.7 per mille – 6 months suspension of the right to drive a vehicle; More than 0.7 per mille – 1-year suspension; Avoidance of sobriety tests for drivers – 1-year suspension.

In case of a repeat offense, a fine of GEL 2000 will be given to the driver, administrative detention for a period of 5 to 15 days, and an increase of the suspension of the right to drive a vehicle by 1 year. These are instead of the previous fine of 700 GEL and increase of the suspension of the right to drive a vehicle by 1 year.

Driving a vehicle under the influence of alcohol:

If the driver does not have the right to drive the vehicle, they will be fined GEL 2000 GEL, up from the previous GEL 1000.

Repetition will result in a fine of GEL 3000 for the driver and administrative detention for a period of 10 to 15 days instead of the previous fine of GEL 1500.

Driving under the influence of alcohol, resulting in minor damage to a vehicle, cargo, road, or other building, other property, or human body:

The above will result in a fine of GEL 2000 for the driver and a 3-year suspension to the right to drive a vehicle, instead of merely a 3-year suspension of the right to drive.

Driving under the influence of alcohol when a person does not have the right to drive a vehicle, followed by minor damage to the vehicle, cargo, road, or other building, other property, or human health:

The above will result in a fine of GEL 3000 for the driver and administrative detention for a period of 10 to 15 days, instead of a fine of only GEL 1000.

Repeating the above actions will result in a fine of GEL 3500 for the driver and administrative detention for a period of 10 to 15 days.
