Mexico Trucker Online

MEXICO CITY – Drunk driving has long been seen in Mexico as little worse than dropping litter, but the capital’s motorists are now sobering up as police jail them on the spot for getting behind the wheel after a few tequilas.Until recently, drivers were rarely stopped while under the influence and they could usually bribe the city’s notoriously corrupt traffic cops with a few pesos to get out of trouble. But Mexico City police were last month armed with new powers to ban drivers for up to three years under a points system that increases punishments for drunkenness or speeding.
