Laser pointer attack on drivers in Aschaffenburg – police investigate!
Late on Saturday evening, between 11:15 p.m. and midnight, an incident occurred on Darmstädter Straße in Aschaffenburg that can hardly be surpassed in terms of drama. Motorists were blinded with a laser pointer, according to reporting by Main Echo led to an investigation by the police. Fortunately, no damage to property or people has been reported so far. The police ask anyone who may be affected or who may have observed something to call 06021/857-2230.
Just one evening later, on the night from Sunday to Monday, an alcoholic driver was stopped on the A3, moving conspicuously zigzag through traffic and almost colliding with a construction site barrier. The 30-year-old man told officers that he had consumed alcohol, which was confirmed in a breath alcohol test with a level of almost two per thousand. The police stopped the journey, ordered a blood sample and initiated an investigation. These measures once again show how important alcohol controls are to ensure safety on the roads and stop reckless drivers.
Drunk driving – precautions for everyone
Every year, especially during the holidays, unsafety on the streets increases due to increased alcohol consumption. Even with a blood alcohol level of 0.5 per mille, the risk of an accident doubles. This highlights the importance of a sober designated driver, especially at celebrations. If you don't want to give up alcohol, public transport or a taxi are always a good alternative.
An urgent appeal
Police continue to carry out targeted checks and maintain the need to minimize alcohol-related incidents. Loud Take your foot off the gas There were over 19,800 people injured in alcohol-related accidents in Germany in 2022, and although the number of alcohol-related accidents has fallen since the 1970s, the risk is particularly high for young drivers. The combination of novice driver status and occasional alcohol consumption often leads to risky situations.
Ultimately, access to road safety shows that each of us is called upon to take responsibility. Together we can make our roads safer. It's worth keeping your head clear and fighting for your own safety and that of others!
