Deprive 20 years the rights of drivers who have committed a drunk accident, offered the deputy of the State Duma, the leader of the party "Rodina" Alexey Zhuravlev, who developed the corresponding bill. Write about this on Monday, August 25 "Izvestia".

Zhuravlev proposed to amend Article 264 of the Criminal Code ("Violation of traffic rules and operation of vehicles"). In case of causing grievous bodily harm to the victim the culprit of the accident if he was intoxicated, should be deprived of a driving license for a period of two to five years, according to Zhuravlev. If the accident will be killed, according to the initiative, it is necessary to prohibit the perpetrator get behind the wheel for a period of 10 to 20 years.

In his opinion, Article 264 provides enough although a wide range of punishments, but the practice of criminal cases against the drivers, when passing behind the wheel while intoxicated, shows that often in the course are extenuating circumstances, such as lack of direct intent, and criminal record culprit accident .

As a result, often the perpetrators of accidents with serious consequences endure soft sentences, including probation. In this case, the deprivation of rights for a period of up to three years, the defendants do not take seriously, the author initiative.
