Belarusian car owners were reminded that under certain circumstances it is prohibited to transfer a car to another person for management.

We are talking about those who get behind the wheel while intoxicated. They should not be allowed to drive your car.

Otherwise, it will be a direct violation of the traffic rules prohibiting the transfer of a vehicle by the owner or a person who has the right to drive a vehicle to someone who is intoxicated.

The press service of the Minsk State Traffic Inspectorate reminded Belarusians of this in its official Telegram channel.

It goes without saying that a drunk driver poses a serious danger to all road users.

When under the influence, a driver is not fully able to control his actions and risks losing control of the car, which is fraught with dire consequences.

The State Traffic Inspectorate noted that for violating the specified traffic regulations, the person who handed over control of the car to a drunk driver may be fined from 2,000 to 4,000 rubles.

In addition, the offender, that is, the one who lets a drunk person drive his car, may be deprived of his driving license for 3 years.

And if such a violation occurs again within a year, then criminal liability is provided.
