Chapter 13 On Drunk Driving

According to the approximate direction of Jiang Li's fingers, the fat brother drove the three of us, first on National Highway 110, then on Baomao Expressway, and then on Hubao Expressway. The fat brother's driving speed was not slow, and it took us more than three hours to arrive at Hoh.

According to the fat brother, due to the restriction of the direction of the highway, we did not go north, but kept driving east, and the direction Jiang Li pointed to was northeast, so it is not wrong to drive east first and then north.

In order to catch up with the progress of the journey, we just parked the car at a temporary rest stop on the side of the road, and ate some fast food in the car, similar to biscuits and pastries.

After eating and drinking, everyone was a little sleepy. Yan Qiu said that she would exchange with the fat brother, let her drive for a while, and let the fat brother rest before driving. But he was rejected by the fat brother, the fat brother's theory is very clear, when he is tired, he stops at the rest stop to rest and then leaves, he is not at ease when he changes people to drive, he is afraid of potential safety hazards, the life safety of these people, but it is all handed over to the driver.

Although I agree with Fat Brother's statement, there is no doubt about safety first, but I think he underestimated Yan Qiu a little, people have lived in the United States for so many years, I estimate that the driving skills are better than our country's cycling.

In order to drive away the fatigue, the fat brother turned on the stereo in the car, and the acoustics of this car were obviously much stronger than the second-hand off-road vehicle he had before. With the fierce Diqu, our car started again and headed for Jining along the Huji Old Expressway.

Along the way, Jiang Li said little, just looked out the car window and was stunned. In order to arouse the atmosphere, I asked Jiang Li: "The little royal sister who loved to talk and laugh before, why didn't she speak today?" Seeing that Sister Yanqiu is boring, she is about to get bored. ”

Jiang Li smiled and said: "It's nothing, I'm just a little worried, I want to hurry to the place to see what the situation is." ”

I persuaded Jiang Li and said, "You have been waiting for so long, do you still care about these three days and two days?" If you hadn't met us, I'm afraid you would still be saving money in that KFC. ”

Jiang Li didn't speak again, just smiled and looked out the window again. Her smile was very reluctant, and it seemed that she was pretending to be a lot of trouble. Jiang Li's personality was originally very strong and cheerful, but now even she is like this, it seems that I can't guess her inner movements. I looked through the frame of my glasses again and looked at Jiang Li carefully with my right eye, the little monkey who was jumping around, was also sitting there now, hanging two long arms, lowering his head without any expression.

Seeing that Jiang Li was bored, I turned around to chat with Yan Qiu again, and I asked Yan Qiu, "Did you learn to drive abroad?" How's the technology? Is it a road killer type? ”

Yan Qiu said: "The law on our side is very interesting, more humane, but it will also make people memorable, and I dare not challenge the title of road killer." ”

As soon as I heard that I was interested, I said to Yan Qiu: "Then you tell us about it, we also know about foreign laws." ”

"The laws in each state are slightly different in foreign countries, but I am at Stanford University, so I follow the laws of California," Yan said. ”

I asked, "Do you have a drunk driver?" Yan zhòng is not strict zhòng? Doesn't it all matter? ”

Yan Qiu smiled and said: "In many countries around the world, drunk driving is illegal. For example, in Japan, if you drink and drive, you will be locked in a small dark room for a few hours to reflect. In Malaysia, if a person is drunk driving, his relatives are also imprisoned for a day. If you drink and drive in Turkey, the police will take you to the middle of nowhere and let you walk home. There are also very special things in our area, such as receiving education or participating in public welfare work. The first time I encountered a police officer catching a drunk driver, I thought it was very interesting. ”

I asked Yan Qiu to continue.

"One evening, my classmates and I were eating cold drinks at a small table outside the bar, not long after I arrived in the United States," Yan Qiu said. I saw a man finish drinking, get in the car and prepare to drive away. Suddenly two police cars rushed out, as in the movie. In our country, the driver violates the rules, he has to get out of the car and negotiate with the traffic police, but not over there, you need to put your hands on the steering wheel, let the police see, do not move, if the police can't see your hands, they will think you are in danger at any time and shoot you. ”

I didn't understand and said, "That's too much, isn't it?" If you can't see your hand, you're going to shoot? ”

Yan Qiu said: "The national conditions are different, you must know that there is no ban on guns over there, more than 200 million guns are in the people, and the possibility of the police encountering danger is extremely great." ”

I nodded in agreement, and then said to Yan Qiu, "Go on." ”

Yan Qiu began to describe it emotionally again, she said: "The drunk driver is also an Asian, and the police's behavior frightened him, and he didn't get out of the car until the police opened the car door." The police first told him to walk in a straight line, and sprayed a white straight line on the road with the spray he had brought with him. Because he didn't drink much, he walked well in a straight line. The police asked him to memorize the English alphabet again, and he also memorized it fluently. Later, the police took out something and asked him to blow up, and after blowing, he could probably judge that he was drinking, and immediately handcuffed him with handcuffs behind his back, and then pressed into the police car and pulled away. ”

The fat brother said: "That thing is called a preliminary alcohol detector, in our country, if the alcohol content is detected every 100 milliliters is 80 milligrams, then it is considered drunk driving, it is a crime, and the driver's license will be revoked for half a year, and you will have to pay a fine of one or two thousand." If this alcohol content is not reached, it is a violation of the law and discretion is dealt with. The main thing is to deduct points. ”

Jiang Li also seemed to be attracted by what Yan Qiu said, tilted his head and asked Yan Qiu: "Then do you want to go to jail after being arrested?" ”

Yan Qiu shook his head and said, "It's not necessary to go to jail, but you have to go through some legal procedures to ask if you want to draw blood." ”

I wondered, "Is there a difference between having blood drawn and not having blood drawn?" ”

Yan Qiu said: "That's there, for example, if you have to go to court later, if you don't have a blood draw, then you can say that I didn't drink, and I didn't blow the haqi on that machine at that time, it was the police who framed me, and I want to do a not guilty trial." ”

I smiled and said, "Then don't draw blood, don't leave evidence, and then it's good to go home without guilt." ”

Yan Qiu smiled and said: "Capitalist countries are about money, and if you consume other people's police force, it is equivalent to spending the taxpayers' money there, and don't get some money out of you, like words?" If you didn't have your blood drawn, then you will be accused of taking drugs, do you have proof? When the time comes, I will make a more complicated procedure for you, and assign you a lawyer, and the lawyer's fee will not be too old. ”

I laughed and said, "Hey, these grandsons, it's really bad enough, then let's honestly draw blood, at least it's just a drunk driver." And what about after the blood draw? ”

Yan Qiu said: "After the blood is drawn, you will be arranged in a special room, the room is not single, there will be several beds and sofas, so that you can sleep and rest there until you wake up." After you sober up, you have to go through some legal procedures, show you some tickets, and tell you which day to attend the court trial. There will also be psychiatrists who will talk to you and ask you if you have something unhappy in your heart and why you are drunk and driving. ”

I nodded and said, "It's really very humane, and there are psychological counseling services, is the fee high?" ”

Yan Qiu said: "That psychological talk is not a mandatory procedure, it is usually a volunteer work that some people with good hearts and professional knowledge take the initiative to do, and there is no charge at all. ”

The fat brother asked, "Then how will it be judged in court?" ”

Yan Qiu said: "The police station will set a day for all drunk drivers to go to the court to report, either the kind of formal courtroom with a jury, or a group of people in a hall, and a judge will pronounce the verdict one by one according to the materials." The general verdict results in volunteer work and participation in re-education. The sentencing day must arrive early in the morning, and when the time comes, if you go late, you will go to jail, and if you don't want to go to jail, you have to pay a lot of bail, or participate in volunteer work for a longer time than others. But it is necessary to sort by the first letter of the surname, so people like me who start with R in English and Y in Chinese have to wait for a long morning. ”

Jiang Li was amused by what Yan Qiu said, she said: "Then my idol Zhang Huimei goes, and I have to say that my name is Ah Mei, so that I can become the first from the last moment." ”

Yan Qiu frowned and said Jiang Li: "What are you thinking about this little head?" Wouldn't you stop drunk driving and not go to that courtroom to queue? ”

I looked at Yan Qiu with a wicked smile and asked her maliciously: "You know so much, it can't be that you have also participated, right?" ”
