The Sinaloa government presented the state legislature with new regulations to curb accidents resulting from driving while inebriated or under the influence of drugs.
The proposal would increase fines to 1,600 to 18,000 pesos, allow administrative arrest of the offender for 12 to 24 hours, suspend licenses for six months for the first offence and three years for a second offence.
A report presented in May by the Secretary of Health and National Council of Accident Prevention stated 772 people lost their lives in traffic accidents in Sinaloa in 2013 and projected that number to rise to 814 this year. (from Noroeste)
