Drunk drivers may start taking other people's cars.
The Supreme Court allowed the seizure of cars, even if they are not registered to the offender. This applies to cases where the car was transferred to relatives or other people in order to avoid consequences.
The reason was the Miyakotsk case. The woman's license was revoked for refusing a medical examination, but she was later caught driving drunk again. The vehicle was not confiscated because according to the documents it belongs to her mother.
However, it turned out that the mother had never driven the car and had never insured it. And the woman herself broke the rules six times in this car. The mother admitted that she was only the formal owner. The court overturned the previous verdict and sent the case for review.
The lawyers disagreed. Some believe that a car should be confiscated if it was used by a drunk driver. Others point out: according to the law, only vehicles belonging to the accused can be confiscated. what do you think
