  • Third: 5 years + driver behavior development training
  • Commercial vehicle driver: 0 promil obligation

Criminal Liability (TCK Article 179)

Endangering traffic safety by driving under the influence of alcohol: 3 months - 2 years in prison. If there is injury/death, additional punishment by consensus.

Objection to the Report

  • To the Criminal Judgeship of Peacewithin 15 days (KK art.27)
  • Device error, measurement procedure violation, witness evidence

Supreme Court 12. CD

12. CD emphasizes that in files where there is no calibration certificate of the alcohol measuring device, the measurement result alone is not sufficient and must be confirmed with a blood sample.

Insurance Denial

In case of an alcohol-related accident, compulsory traffic insurance pays to the third party, but the right of recourse is reserved. Insurance may reject it completely.
