A law has been drafted that would make any act of drunk driving, which is currently considered a violation, a criminal offense in future.
"Regardless of the amount of alcohol consumed, drunk driving is a criminal offense. A traffic violation that results in minor bodily injury is considered a crime. Only acts that cause serious harm to people or lead to the death of people are recognized as crimes under current legislation," Minister of Justice and Internal Affairs Enkhbayar Battomor said.
26,000 crimes are registered in Mongolia annually. According to the Minister, this number will immediately at least double.
"Our country will register 60,000 crimes annually," said the Minister of Justice.
