Is drinking by electric car a drunk driving?

Electric bicycles belong to the category of non-motor vehicles only if they meet the new national standard that the maximum speed is not higher than 25km/h, the mass of the whole vehicle including batteries is not higher than 55kg, the motor power is not higher than 400W, and they have pedal function.

Non-motor vehicles also have related non-motor vehicle lanes. Riding an electric bicycle after drinking, if the electric bicycle you drive meets the standards of non-motor vehicles, is theoretically not in the category of drunk driving.

It is understood that at present, there are also electric bicycles in China that exceed the new national standard and reach the category of motor vehicles. Driving this kind of electric bicycle after drinking is punished according to drinking and driving a motor vehicle. Therefore, drinking and riding an electric bicycle is not worth advocating.

According to Article 91 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, anyone who drives a motor vehicle after drinking alcohol shall be detained temporarily for six months and fined between 1,000 yuan and 2,000 yuan. And Article 72 of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China: Driving bicycles, tricycles, electric bicycles and motorized wheelchairs for the disabled is also one of the regulations that should be observed.

In fact, riding an electric bicycle after drinking is also a very dangerous behavior. Even if the electric bicycle belongs to a non-motor vehicle, it can't be punished according to drunk driving, but from the perspective of social responsibility, it has certain risks to others and their own safety, and there may be traffic safety hazards.

Moreover, after being discovered by the transportation department, it will stop criticizing and educating, and even take other punishment measures. Therefore, drinking without driving, driving without drinking is the best choice.
