Police enforce new drink and speeding regulations<\/a><\/p>\n

THE POLICE have started issuing on-the-spot fines for speeding and drinking offences this week implementing a law that empowers the police to immediately punish offenders, the head of traffic police Demetris Demetriou said yesterday.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow we\u2019ve got immediate sentences rather than sentences in court after two years,\u201d Demetriou said.<\/p>\n

For drinking under the influence of alcohol, the police will issue on-the-spot fines and\/or penalty points to anyone whose breath test registers up to 70 micrograms per 100 ml. The limit is 22mg\/dL.<\/p>\n

The fines are \u20ac100 for up to 35mg\/dL; \u20ac200 and two penalty points for between 36mg\/dL and 55mg\/dL; \u20ac300 and three penalty points for between 56 mg\/dL and 70mg\/dL.<\/p>\n

Anyone reading over 70mg\/dL will go to court and could get six penalty points, a fine of up to \u20ac400 and at least \u20ac150, and\/or a jail sentence.<\/p>\n

Drivers will also be issued on-the-spot fines and will be punished with \u20ac1.0 for each kilometre per hour when they have exceeded the limit by up to 30 per cent.<\/p>\n

When driving between 31 per cent and 50 per cent faster than the limit, drivers will pay \u20ac2.0 per km\/h and two penalty points.<\/p>\n

Driving between 51 per cent and 75 per cent faster than the limit is punishable costs \u20ac3.0 per km\/h and three penalty points.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
