So, he said: "through the work we provide a number of very serious and hard of proposals aimed at lowering mortality rates during accidents.

As for the confiscation: of course, drunken driving is not the place of road accident with victims – the same murder, only with another type of weapon (in this case a car), but now, not only will our sad habit of the new regulation on the confiscation of the vehicle "trough" for dishonest employees of an appropriate Agency?
