Around 7 p.m. the car noticed the officials due to the uncertain driving behavior. The subsequent control showed that the driver was considerably alcoholic - a breath alcohol test showed a value of around 3.2 per thousand, which is significantly higher than the legal limit. Such a high alcohol concentration can drastically impair the responsibility and is a serious danger for both the driver himself and for other road users.

The driver concerned was taken to the hospital to carry out a blood sample. He will now be confronted with a criminal complaint for drunkenness in road traffic. This could not only be fine, but also the withdrawal of his driver's license. The police appeal to all road users to be aware of the responsibility in road traffic and avoid alcohol if they want to drive.

The role of the police

The quick reaction of the police patrol may have prevented worse things. Such missions illustrate the essential role of the police in the prevention of traffic accidents caused by alcoholized driving. The authorities continue to rely on clarification and control to increase security on the streets.

important information for the community

These events should sensitize the community and stimulate to think about the consumption of alcohol and the dangers of driving. Every road user is asked to take responsibility and to protect everyone in road traffic. Organizations and local institutions are asked to support programs for clarifying the risks of driving under the influence of alcohol.
