Drunk driving in Ingolstadt: 1.8 per mille and rear-end collision!
On the evening of October 25, 2025, around 9:45 p.m., a 25-year-old woman caused a rear-end collision on Haunwöhrer Straße in Ingolstadt. Fortunately, no one was injured in this incident, but the situation still had expensive consequences for the driver. During the inspection, the police found “clear signs of failure” and carried out a breath test, which showed an alarming level of almost 1.8 per mille. This means that the driver is well above the legal alcohol limit for drivers, which at 1.1 per mille is considered to be absolutely unfit to drive and is a punishable offense, as ADAC reports.
After the incident, the woman was asked to take a blood sample and her driver's license was temporarily confiscated. There is the prospect of having your driving license revoked due to a criminal complaint for drunk driving. If the blood alcohol level exceeds 1.1 per mille, the driver's license can be revoked, and even in the event of an accident when someone is heavily intoxicated, the accusation of endangering road traffic is often made, according to Pfaffenhofen Today.
Legal consequences and procedures
The legal consequences for the driver affected can be far-reaching. As has already been discussed in other cases in the past, the revocation of your driving license if you drive drunk can have far-reaching consequences. Potential penalties include a fine and a driving ban. In another case, for example, a woman was convicted of negligent driving under the influence of alcohol and was also driving a vehicle under the influence of drugs. This woman also had to expect a driving ban and a fine, as Strafrechtsiegen explains in detail.
In Germany, drivers with an alcohol level of 0.5 to 1.09 per mille are subject to administrative offenses, while drivers with an alcohol level of 1.1 per mille are liable to prosecution. The consequences can also affect the insurance, as depending on how drunk you are, it may only pay partially or not at all. Even recourse against the policyholder can amount to up to 5,000 euros if an accident occurs under the influence of alcohol, as the ADAC informs.
The incidents surrounding the topic of drunk driving are omnipresent and make it clear that such decisions can have serious consequences. Driving is a serious matter and everyone should be aware of the dangers of being under the influence of alcohol.
