Drunk driving: 54-year-old stopped in Iffeldorf with 3 per mille!

The police are in action again this week in the Weilheim-Schongau region. The police, fire and rescue services are available around the clock to respond quickly to emergencies. On June 13th, residents in Iffeldorf reported a driver sleeping in a strange car. The 54-year-old man from Ohlstadt was driving with a blood alcohol level of around 3 per mille. This led to immediate police intervention: he was prevented from continuing his journey, his driver's license and vehicle keys were confiscated and criminal proceedings were initiated. This is a clear example of the dangers and legal consequences of drunk driving, which can have far-reaching effects on professional and personal circumstances, as anwalt.de reports.

But that wasn't the only incident in the region. On June 12th there was an accident in Schongau in which a 61-year-old cyclist crashed into the open car door of an 81-year-old woman. The cyclist suffered moderate injuries and had to be taken to hospital, while property damage is estimated at around 400 euros. At the same time, a 17-year-old moped driver was stopped in Weilheim with a defective front wheel brake, which could result in a fine and a report to the driving license office.

Safe streets for everyone

Current events are alarming for road safety. The danger posed by alcohol on the road should not be underestimated. According to Section 316 of the Criminal Code, it is a criminal offense to drive a vehicle under the influence of alcohol. If you have a blood alcohol level of 1.1 per mille, you are considered absolutely unfit to drive. If the values ​​are lower, depending on the circumstances, criminal consequences may follow, such as fines or even prison sentences, which can seriously endanger one's personal existence.

Also on June 12th, a Renault Kangoo was damaged on Schöffelhuberstrasse in Weilheim. The culprit is unknown, the property damage amounts to around 200 euros. In addition, a 34-year-old man from Peiting was stopped on a moped without a license. His vehicle was seized and the police have begun an investigation. In Antdorf, a 19-year-old motorcyclist fell and suffered a concussion and bruises. The value of the total loss to his motorcycle is around 5,000 euros.

Prevention is key

These incidents illustrate how important it is to act responsibly in traffic. The signs of drunk driving can have fatal consequences not only for the driver involved, but also for innocent people. Therefore, it is advisable to always monitor your own alcohol consumption, especially if you plan to drive a vehicle. A quick drink at the end of the day can have fatal consequences, often with the impression of “residual alcohol”, which catches many drivers unprepared, as merkur.de describes.

The appeal is clear: be careful and think about the safety of all road users. Too much alcohol can put a strain on not only the driver's life, but that of others as well.
