Juridical Analysis of Law Number 22 of 2009 Jo. Minister of Transportation Regulation Number 12 of 2019 Regarding the Prohibition of Smoking While Driving

Abstract

Increased public mobility and the growth of motor vehicles have changed the dynamics of cross-traffic safety and safety significantly. The main attention turned to the issue of smoking while driving, which is not only a violation of social ethics, but also increases the risk of traffic accidents. This research uses normative jurisprudential research methods. The results show that the implementation of smoking-related regulations regarding driving is still not well implemented. The rules related to the smoking ban while driving are not fully implemented because still many drivers smoke while driving. The study found some obstacles to the prohibition of smoking while driving, including a lack of public awareness and low compliance with the rules. Weak law enforcement and the lack of effective sanctions are also one of the obstacles in efforts to enforce rules related to smoking while driving. Awareness of the dangers of smoking while driving needs to be raised. That requires further efforts through education, regulatory implementation, and consistent law enforcement to a safer driving environment.
