Drunk driver drives in a serpentine line and hits a parked car!
In the early morning of August 24, 2025, two police officers in Cologne observed an extremely risky incident on the B56 in Euskirchen-Wißkirchen. A vehicle that was heavily intoxicated was traveling in dangerous serpentine lines and came dangerously close to the guardrail on several occasions. A passer-by reported the incident shortly after 1 a.m. and the alert police were finally able to stop the car.
The 56-year-old driver, whose alcohol level could not be measured on site because it was extremely high, was not only noticeable because of his driving style. While driving through a roundabout, he even drove over the center island before his car crashed into a parked car when it came to a stop. The officers then discovered fresh traces of accident on the right side of the vehicle and took a blood sample from the driver. His driver's license was also confiscated and a report was filed for fleeing a traffic accident Cologne City Gazette reported.
Dangers of drunk driving
Drunk driving is not only reckless, it also endangers the lives of other road users. The blood alcohol limits in Germany are clearly defined: from 0.5 per mille you commit an administrative offense, which is punished with a fine of up to 500 euros and points in Flensburg. At 1.1 per mille, there is an absolute inability to drive, which is a punishable offence. Anyone who drives over 1.6 per mille must even expect a medical-psychological examination (MPU) before they get their driving license back. This is a clear warning for all motorists, as the information from ADAC show.
The legal consequences are an important issue that applies not only to the driver affected. The risk that your own insurance will not pay out in the event of an accident under the influence of alcohol or that you will even make claims for recourse should not be underestimated. Complete responsibility lies with the driver, how Yusora explained in detail.
Conclusion: Don't take a sip at the wheel
This incident in Euskirchen is a powerful reminder: alcohol and cars simply don't belong together. The laws are clear and the penalties can become a real question of existence for many. Whether you're a new driver or an experienced driver, the best way to go is to avoid alcohol altogether when you're behind the wheel. Life is too valuable to be put at risk carelessly.
