Specific features of traffic violations by a person who was previously subjected to administrative punishment

The life of a modern person is inextricably linked with the use of vehicles, which has long ceased to be used only in the professional sphere and contributes to the mobility of people everywhere. The magnitude of the constant use of vehicles leads to situations where people, despite the relevant legislative prohibitions, allow the vehicle to be driven regardless of their condition. Unlawful acts in the field of traffic are currently a common phenomenon that poses a serious threat to the development of Russian society and the state. In this context, the need to improve the mechanisms for countering these criminal acts, especially when it comes to driving while intoxicated or in the case of repeated commission of these violations, significantly increases. The purpose of this work is to identify specific features of traffic violations by a person who was previously subjected to administrative punishment, based on a study of current Russian criminal law and law enforcement practice. The author comes to the conclusion that it is mandatory to take into account, when counteracting these violations of the rules of the road, specific features identified, due to their reflection of the essence of the analyzed illegal act. Emphasis is placed on public danger and the serious scale of the negative consequences of road accidents caused by drivers who are intoxicated, as well as the significant risks that arise in the event of an intentional refusal of drivers to undergo a medical examination. It is noted that the repeated commission of gross violations in the field of traffic after bringing to administrative responsibility demonstrates the ineffectiveness of the previously imposed penalties.
