a few days ago, there was a new case of a drunk driver driving on the wrong side of the motorway in the wrong direction against the right vehicles for a very long time before the police managed to stop him and take him out of traffic. by this act, he endangered his own life and, above all, the lives of others. yesterday, he drove from karavanke to radovljica on the wrong side of the motorway.
Examples:
I would like to remind you of the case of the Hangover where 3 people died.
maribor, 25.9.16 ljubljana-sentilj motorway between rogoza-maribor centre, one person dead, two injured,
grosuplje 8.1.16 motorway towards grosuplje, one person (the cause) dead, 6 vehicles involved in the accident, 4 due to danger avoidance,
lipce 2.10.14, motorway towards karavanke exit lipce, two dead
trebnje 8.1.17 motorway toll station dob, police officers barely stopped a drunk driver who refused to stop
these are high-profile cases with the worst outcome, but there are cases with only material damage or not even that.
Driving on a motorway categorised for higher speeds, in the opposite direction on the wrong side, is life-threatening. anyone who is not alert when joining a motorway is an irresponsible driver.
The current penalty for driving on the wrong side of the motorway as an incorrect driver is €1200 and 18 penalty points, and I propose the following: €2500 and the withdrawal of the driver's licence.
I should mention that there are not only cases of cars, but also cases of lorries, which probably miss or whatever, turning the wrong way when coming off the exit, so that they go to the exit. this is dangerous and irresponsible and selfish.
to justify such a high penalty, it is a very serious breach of traffic regulations and endangers people's health and life.
