drivers injured red light - police reach

In the night of Thursday, May 8th, 2025, officers from the Bonn-Stadt police station carried out a traffic control on Endicher Strasse around 2:00 a.m. A 41-year-old driver was stopped who had previously disregarded the red light of a traffic light. This inspection turned out to be crucial because further abnormalities quickly showed.

During the check, the police noticed a clear smell of alcohol in the driver's breathing air. To clarify the situation, they carried out a voluntary breath alcohol test that resulted in a value of about 1 per thousand. The officials reacted immediately and prohibited the driver on the driver. In addition, his driver's license was ensured and a blood sample was taken to determine the alcohol content more precisely.

After the check, the 41-year-old now awaits an investigation for drunkenness in road traffic. Such measures are part of the ongoing efforts of the police to increase the safety in road traffic and to avoid accidents caused by alcoholic driving.

The police appealed to all road users to take responsibility and do without alcoholic beverages if they plan to keep a vehicle. The dangers that emerge from drunk driving are serious and affect not only the drivers themselves, but also other road users.
