The State Duma is preparing the following amendments to the “car” chapter of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. According to them, the approach of drivers who use drugs that contain substances that reduce attention and reaction is changing. The latter are part of common analgesics and antipyretics. Changes in the Code of Administrative Offenses will of course also lead to changes in the traffic rules. Portal “AutoVzglyad” introduces the details.
At the end of November, the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation sided with motorists and banned from bringing to court drivers who used drugs before the trip that affect attention and reaction, but are not related to narcotic or psychotropic drugs. In addition, the Constitutional Court ordered the State Duma to solve the problem in legislation. And it consisted in the fact that drugs that can be bought for free still contain substances that negatively affect both reaction and attention. However, the concentrations of such ingredients in such tablets-drops-powders are minimal and do not affect the driver’s ability to drive vehicles.
If the check does find their presence in the body, this can be a reason to be held accountable (including deprivation of “rights”). Therefore, following the decision of the Constitutional Court, the State Duma is preparing amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses, which should exempt motorists from liability for drunk driving. But of course not in the case of alcohol or drugs. Also, in the near future, pharmaceutical companies will most likely be required to label their products for their impact on a person’s ability to drive.
