Alcoholemia que puede generar inimputabilidad al conducir vehículos bajo el estado de embriaguez

Abstract

The circulation of motor vehicles proposes new challenges to criminal law, which, according to the punitive trends so common today, is presented to Colombian public opinion, by the media and legislators, as the only possible solution to counteract the high rates of dead and injured produced, in particular, by drunk drivers. However, the creation of new crimes or the tightening of existing penalties can hardly contribute to the reduction of these figures; The role of criminal law for this purpose is limited and criminal policy is only one of the public policies aimed at improving road safety, which, by the way, is far from being the most effective in this area. Drunk driving is causing damage to the physical integrity of drivers, passengers and third parties linked in traffic accidents, a situation that demands timely action by the authorities in this matter. In December 2013, the Colombian State issued 4 Law 1696, through which criminal and administrative provisions were issued to sanction driving under the influence of alcohol or other psychoactive substances, such as the development of preventive, control and prosecution actions to Violators The partial impact of this standard was studied during the first semesters of the 2010-2013 and 2014 periods, taking into account the time-place-mode variables, and they were described from the control theory and research on it.
