The People's Daily reported that a Chinese pop singer Gao Xiaosong, best known for his campus ballads, faces prison after he was caught drunken driving, which put drunken driving again in the spotlight.
According to the research of the World Health Organization about drunken driving, there are about 50% to 60% traffic accidents relating to it. Drunken driving has been classified as the main reason for traffic accidents leading to death. In China, an increasing number of gruesome traffic accidents mainly caused by drunken driving have reached into tens of thousands. The detriment of drunken driving is so startling that drunken driving has been considered as the premier killer in traffic accidents.
Encouragingly, at the 16th Session of the Standing Committee of the 11th National People’s Congress of the People’s Republic of China in August of 2010, the draft of legislation enlarges that people who drunken
drive will be decreed a punishment cleared the council.
Based on the recent investigation, 40% of those drunken drivers tend to overestimate their own driving skills. This kind of drunken drivers is sure that they have a large capacity for liquor and they are great at driving. Besides, they are always parading their driving skills by drunken driving, making them on the edge of the precipice. What’ more, 27% of
drunken drivers are weak in safety
consciousness.
In addition, a large portion of drunken drivers tend to have fluky psychology that they have not been caught or have an accident and they often see others drunken drive, so it isn’t that
serious and dangerous. In the end, it turned out to be grossly mistaken.
Drunken drivers are so impaired that they are
11 times more likely to have a single-vehicle crash than drivers with no alcohol in their system. When someone drinking is
approaching the borderline of legal intoxication, studies show that he or she has poor muscle coordination -- affecting their balance, speech, vision, reaction time and hearing -- find it more difficult to detect danger, and exhibit impaired judgment, self-control, reasoning ability and memory. Drunken driving not only makes a large amount of happy families broken, but also makes you repent at leisure.
Once again, I have come to think of GaoXiaosong, he wrote a word in respond of media that I’m sorry and promise I will never drunken drive!
We should NEVER Drink and Drive!
