- Operating the vehicle on the highway, except for vehicles used for highway management and maintenance;

- Causing a traffic accident without stopping, not maintaining the scene, fleeing without reporting to competent authorities, not participating in rescuing the injured;

- Operating the vehicle on the road while having a blood alcohol concentration exceeding 80 milligrams/100 milliliters of blood or a breath alcohol concentration exceeding 0.4 milligrams/1 liter of breath;
