Can't let "drug driving" endanger life safety.
A car crashed into passers-by in Handan, Hebei Province, killing four people and injuring many others. The local public security bureau reported that the suspect caused a car accident because of taking too much prescription drugs for pain relief. At present, the suspect is suspected of "endangering public safety by dangerous means" and has been criminally detained by the police.

It is "poisonous driving" again. For such a vicious incident caused by "drunk driving", the police dealt with the crime of endangering public safety in a dangerous way rather than the crime of causing traffic accidents, which shows the seriousness of the case.

In recent years, traffic accidents caused by "drug driving" are not uncommon. Judging from the degree of social harm, there is little difference between "drunk driving" and "drunk driving", but the punishment is often light. Objectively speaking, as long as there are no serious consequences such as injury and death, "drug driving" generally does not violate the criminal law, thus constituting a crime. This is also one of the reasons why "drug driving" is getting worse.

In fact, "drug driving" is just a popular name and has no legal significance. What exactly is "drug driving"? At present, there is no clear statement in terms of testing standards or legal provisions. China's Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates: "Those who drink alcohol, take state-controlled psychotropic drugs or narcotic drugs, suffer from diseases that hinder safe driving of motor vehicles, or fatigue affects safe driving, are not allowed to drive motor vehicles." It is not difficult to see that the drugs in this regulation are limited to psychotropic drugs or narcotic drugs, and no other drugs are mentioned. Judging from the criteria and legal consequences, the criteria for judging drunk driving and drunk driving are clear, but "poison driving" is not clear.

Among the traffic accident crimes, the traffic accident crime and the crime of endangering public safety by dangerous means are two common crimes. The former is considered to be a negligent crime, while the latter is considered to be subjective and intentional. In judicial practice, "drunk driving" is often treated as an ordinary traffic accident case, which also causes some cases of "excessive sentencing" and further affects the punishment effect.

In recent years, the voice of "drunk driving" is very high, but the judgment of "drunk driving" is far more complicated than that of "drunk driving". Taking the detection of "drug driving" as an example, there are many kinds of drugs involved and the detection procedure is very complicated. It is impossible to identify it easily by blowing an alcohol tester like drunk driving, and with the emergence of various new analgesic drugs, this judgment and detection will be more difficult.

"Poisonous driving" is difficult to identify as a fact, but it cannot be allowed to become a hidden danger of traffic accidents and threaten the lives of many people. To control "drug driving", we must not only severely punish afterwards, but also move forward to block the source. For example, can we improve legislation, expand the scope of drugs that restrict driving, include more drugs that may affect driving safety, and increase penalties for "drug driving"? In addition to the legal provisions, there are some feasible practices that should be tried. For example, hospitals should pay more attention to the guidelines and reminders of patients' medication, and users should also have the awareness and habit of following the doctor's advice and reading the drug instructions-this is not only responsible for themselves, but also for others.

I hope that with the efforts of many parties, the tragedy caused by "drug driving" can be reduced and avoided.
