The Reasons for Drunk Driving in Beijing
With the rapid development of the economy recent years in Beijing, the automobile has been a very popular and important vehicle which benefits us in many aspects. However, coming along with the increasing number of cars, the traffic accidents happen frequently, especially the one caused by driving after drinking too much. The consequences of the drunk driving is so critical that people have paid more attention to the drunk driving. The accounts for drunk driving tragedies, in my opinion, are the lack of safety awareness, the craze of the luxury life and the insufficient law enforcement.
The lack of safety awareness is the direct factor. On one hand, it is easy for people to get driving licences through some crony relationship. Most of those people know little about the regulations of the traffic and they don't have enough driving practice. On the other hand. People believe themselves too much. They always keep luck in their mind and think that it doesn't matter to have a little drink. Unfortunately, they iust forget how a habit is formed. People especially for young must be aware of the safety or it will be too late to regret what they have done on the road.
The second reason is the craze of the luxury life. Beijing is a big and challenging city where people get richer and richer. Then some rich are not satisfied with the normal things any more. They want to show themselves in unusual ways. They go after excitement and heartbeats eagerly. They don't care what they are doing even to break the rules to harm other's profits, interests, freedome and life. Recently, a famous star Gao Xiaosong drove his car wantonly after drinking in Beijing, which hit four cars and hurted four people. According to the research, ridiculously, he didn't even have a chinese driving licence but American one.
The insufficient law enforcement is the final reason. In Beijing now, If you obey the rules, your driving license will be detained 3-6 months. You will be held in detaining for 15 days or imposed a fine 1000-2000 RMB. But the problem is that this punishment sometimes can't be fully applied. People can avoid punishment through some ways, for example, bribing the police. Then these people will not change their behaviors and will have a bad influence on others.
Drunk driving in beijing now is strictly forbidden by law, but the key factor is the safety awareness. Be awake to drive, and deny the drunk driving. We don't want to see two heart-broken families only due to the unconscious and stupid behaviors.。
