Abstract

The levels of countermeasures to traffic accidents with fatal consequences committed by citizens under the influence of alcohol or drugs were analyzed through interdisciplinary forensic and pharmaceutical, forensic and medical, forensic and narcological, forensic and psychiatric, criminal and law studies during pre-trial investigation for the prevention causes and conditions that cause fatalities, disability, bodily injuries of varying degrees of severity, to improve the system of timely provision of medical and pharmaceutical, social and economic assistance to victims and their families by health care institutions and pharmacies of various forms of ownership. Proven that high-profile traffic accidents with fatal consequences are on the rise. Administrative responsibility under Art. 130 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses does not solve the severity of the problem. It is necessary to strengthen criminal responsibility and increase the fines for citizens who got behind the wheel of a car and left the road while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Areas of coordination of the activities of law enforcement agencies in the field of road traffic safety have been worked out. Normative initiatives were proposed.
