Exchange with PV Infonet Regarding the above case, lawyer Nguyen Anh Thom – Head of the Office of Legal Affairs Nguyen Anh (Hanoi) said: “The criminal handling of Thinh mentioned above is too light. The law is very clear and has also propagated a lot, but Thinh still drinks alcohol and participates in traffic, not only that, this accused is also an officer of the Department of Transport of Bac Giang province, understands better than anyone. all about the harmful effects of alcohol and beer when participating in traffic.

It can be said that this is an act of knowing the consequences, but Thinh still does it, not a traffic violation.

Lawyer Thom also made the assumption: “Thanh caused an accident that killed one person, he was sentenced to 5 years in prison, and caused an accident that killed three people, it was only 15 years. So, the case of Thinh causing an accident that killed more than 20 to 30 people is only 15 years in prison. The Law on Road Traffic only has regulations and the maximum prison sentence of less than 15 years is not enough of a deterrent.”

The area where 3 victims in 1 family died tragically.

Using alcohol, beer or drugs while driving is extremely dangerous and is an act of disregard for the law, regardless of the life and property of others.

The law forces citizens to be aware that when they put alcohol, beer or stimulants in their bodies, driving a vehicle in traffic is a dangerous act for society, leading to loss of control, loss of cognitive ability. and control behavior, foreseeing possible consequences, though undesirable, but consciously ignoring the consequences.

In this case, the violator’s fault is an indirect intentional fault according to Clause 2, Article 10 of the Penal Code 2015. Therefore, wherever the consequences occur, the vehicle driver must be held responsible. If a person dies, he or she will be responsible for the crime of Murder under Article 123 of the Penal Code or the consequences cause an injury of 11% or more, then he/she shall be responsible for the crime of Intentionally causing injury under Article 134 of the Penal Code. grounded and in accordance with the provisions of law.
