On Saturday evening, a traffic accident occurred in the north of Erfurt, which raises some questions. A 67-year-old woman led her Ford in a residential area and noticed that she obviously drove into snake lines. Witnesses became aware of the striking driving behavior and observed how the car grazed a parked car while parking, which led to damage.

The alarmed police quickly reached the scene of the accident. During the review, it turned out that the driver was considerably alcoholic. A test resulted in a breath alcohol value of over two per thousand, which is significantly above the legal limit and indicates severe alcoholization. In Germany it is illegal to carry a vehicle with such a high alcohol content in the blood.

Details of the incident

The police acted immediately and led the woman to the office where a blood sample was carried out. This is an usual process in such cases to determine the exact alcohol content in the blood. In addition, her driver's license was collected, which means that she can no longer drive legally for an indefinite period. These measures are important to ensure security on the streets and prevent other potential accidents.

A criminal procedure was also initiated, which can have serious consequences for women. These usually include fines, the loss of the driving license and possibly even prison terms, depending on the severity of the offense and whether there were previous similar incidents.

accidents that happen under the influence of alcohol are a serious problem in Germany and other countries. They not only endanger the driver's life, but also the many unsuspecting road users. The authorities regularly emphasize the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol, but many ignore these warnings. It remains to be seen how the Situation for the woman continues and what legal consequences she has to expect.

In Erfurt, this incident is just another example of a widespread social problem. Even if the traffic accident might go out lightly, it could have more serious consequences in the future, especially if similar situations occur. The need for education and prevention measures remains an important topic to reduce such incidents and to promote safety -conscious behavior in road traffic.
