Drunk driving: Man caught with over 2.3 per mille in Bad Herrenalb!
In Bad Herrenalb last Saturday evening, a 35-year-old Hyundai driver was caught in a police stop that was likely to scare him. At 10:30 p.m., officers from the Calw police station stopped the man on Ettlinger Strasse after they smelled a distinct smell of alcohol. The subsequent breath alcohol preliminary test revealed an alarming result: the driver had more than 2.3 per mille in his blood.
The police's actions quickly became clear: the man had to give a blood sample and immediately lost his driver's license. A drunk driving charge was the inevitable consequence that awaited him.
Legal consequences of drunk driving
Drunk driving is not a trivial offense and can have serious legal consequences. Penalties vary depending on alcohol level and driving behavior. In the fine procedure according to Section 24a StVG, a fine of at least 500 euros is due from an alcohol content of 0.5 to 1.09 per mille, in addition to the registration of points in Flensburg and a driving ban of one month. In the case of increased values or repeated violations, the penalty can increase several times. Even with a first violation in the range of 1.1 per mille, the person affected faces fines or even imprisonment as well as a driving license being revoked and a subsequent medical-psychological examination (MPU).
What is particularly worrying is that as little as 0.3 per mille, in conjunction with conspicuous driving behavior, there can be significant legal consequences, ranging from fines to the revocation of your driving license. A previous violation can make the penalties even more difficult.
Preparation for the MPU
For many drivers who find themselves in this situation, the MPU is a crucial point. From a blood alcohol level of 1.6, this obligation becomes mandatory and can make it very difficult to get your driving license back. It is therefore advisable to make evidence-based preparations in good time, which in many cases include abstinence and cooperation with qualified traffic psychologists.
Such an approach can make the path to regaining your driving license much easier.
The tragedy of the situation is that losing your driving license not only has legal consequences, but can also lead to problems at work. This is something every driver should keep in mind when risking control of their vehicle and possibly their life through alcohol.
