Drunk driver discovered sleeping on the side of the road – 1.5 per mille!
Last Saturday night, the Aurich police had their hands full when they found a 32-year-old man on the side of the road, sleeping and very drunk in his car. The scene was hardly idyllic, as loud music was blaring from the vehicle, drawing attention to the situation in question. As the NWZ Online Reportedly, officers were informed by information from the area that the man may be a risk to himself and other road users.
When asked by the officers, the 32-year-old woke up and stated that he had been behind the wheel and had driven the car there. An alcohol test carried out showed a shocking 1.5 per mille. This is tough stuff, because in Germany if you have a blood alcohol level of 1.1 per mille you are considered absolutely unfit to drive, regardless of your driving style, and you can expect a license revocation, a fine or even a prison sentence, as shown on Yusora is executed.
Drunk driving: A risky undertaking
Although the legal framework is clear, some drivers seem to ignore the risks. The following applies: 0.0 per mille for novice drivers and those under 21 years of age, 0.3 per mille as the beginning of relative inability to drive and from 0.5 per mille an administrative offense that is punished with fines and points. Things get serious at 1.1 per mille: This is where criminal consequences follow, which can lead to the loss of your driving license. The ADAC also confirms this on its website: Drivers must always be aware of the dangers that come with drinking and driving and comply with the legal regulations accordingly ADAC.
The consequences for the 32-year-old will not be without consequences. His driver's license was confiscated by the police and a case was opened for drunk driving. This is another clear indication of how seriously drinking and driving is taken. For example, drivers who repeatedly have an alcohol problem must expect a medical-psychological examination (MPU) in order to get their driving license back.
Responsibility in road traffic
The events on Saturday night remind us that drunk driving not only endangers your own life, but also that of other road users. Especially in a city like Aurich, where traffic is busy and the safety of everyone on the streets is a top priority, everyone should take responsibility for themselves and others.
The incident clearly shows that driving under the influence of alcohol is never a good idea. It is everyone's responsibility to ensure safety and order on the roads, and ultimately there is no reason to put your own life or that of others at risk - no matter how well you think you can handle alcohol.
