New Law Punishing Drunk Drivers Is A Great Idea, But Tough To Enforce


There are so many, for the lack of a blunter term, “stupid” laws, that when you hear about one that makes sense it’s easy to get excited. Sadly, although sensible and spot on in its intent, I believe enforcing it is going to prove to be difficult.

Get pulled over with ANY alcohol on your breath/blood test in Colombia. HUGE fine [$500-$7000+], NO Driving for a period. Keep repeating; you will live in prison for a long time. Not the comfy kind in the US, either. People take an Uber, a cab, or bring a nondrinker to where they are going. https://www.angloinfo.com/how-to/colombia/transport/driving/drink-driving
