Drunk driver, pay more expensive direct car insurance

After a spate of deadly accidents frequently occur in China, the country's government finally took decisive steps to punish the driver who was caught being affected alcoholic beverages.

This decisive step was taken because the number of accidents due to driving while drunk rose sharply in the country that is currently the largest automotive market in the world.

The Chinese government prosecute the driver who found his mouth smelled of alcohol to reduce the accident rate in the country, to ensnare the offender to pay a higher direct car insurance premium than usual.

China will link the obligation to pay insurance for someone with a driving record. With the scheme, China Insurance Regulatory Commission (Circ) hope awareness will arise among the drivers.

The scheme sounds such as someone who drove a car after drinking but not drunk and arrested the first time, must pay the direct car insurance rates 10 to 15 percent higher than normal rates in the next year.

While the drunk driver who was caught would be charged at 20 to 30 percent higher and when the driver repeatedly being caught driving while drunk, then the driver must pay the direct car insurance fee of up to 60 percent higher than normal.

Drunk driving is indeed a great danger, not only for the drinker but for other road users. Chinese police earlier this month she has been conducting a campaign of anti-drunk and the result of more than 304 thousand people caught in a time of four and a half months.
