Moreover, the death toll and injuries caused by drunk driving dropped by 37.8 percent and 11.1 percent, respectively, the statement said.
The amended Criminal Law stipulates that all drunk driving incidents are considered criminal offenses, whereas the previous law imposed criminal penalties on drunk drivers only when they caused serious traffic accidents.
Further, an amended Road Traffic Safety Law, which also took effect on May 1, stipulates that convicted drunk drivers will have their driving licenses revoked, instead of suspended, as in the previous law.
The police had finished the investigation of 646 drunk driving cases and sent these cases to the procuratorates for further prosecution, the statement said.
