New penalties for drifting, illegal races and drunk driving

The law introduces stricter penalties for drivers, including mandatory confiscation of the car for drunk driving (over 1.5 per mille) and for participating in illegal races. New regulations also punish organizers and spectators of illegal car meets, and ban intentional drifting. For citizens, this means greater road safety, but also the risk of losing their car and high fines for breaking the new bans.
