Drunk driver in Germersheim: Witness chases dangerous BMW!
On the evening of June 26, 2025, a worrying incident occurred in Germersheim that once again raises awareness of the dangers of drunk driving. At around 10:50 p.m., an alert driver noticed a white BMW whose driver was obviously driving unsafely. She didn't miss the opportunity to follow the vehicle and watch what was happening. The route led over several streets, including Rheinbrückenstrasse and Bahnhofstrasse, which led to several dangerous situations as the BMW driver gave way to other road users, such as the one Pfalz Express reports.
The police finally managed to locate the suspected driver, a 42-year-old woman from Germersheim. However, she denied that she had driven the vehicle. However, the officers' situation was no different than that of many drivers under the influence of alcohol: the woman showed clear signs of being drunk. A breath alcohol test could not be performed, which led to a blood sample being taken. As a result, her driving license was temporarily revoked.
Dangerous alcohol limits
In Germany, strict blood alcohol limits apply to ensure safety on the roads. There is an absolute alcohol ban of 0.0 per mille for drivers up to the age of 21 and for novice drivers during their probationary period. From 0.3 per mille onwards, the first legal consequences threaten, especially if failure symptoms occur. Things get worse from 0.5 per mille: This value is considered an administrative offense, which can result in a fine of 500 euros, two points in the Flensburg traffic offenders' register and a driving ban for one month. From a value of 1.1 per mille, the inability to drive occurs regardless of physical impairments, such as ADAC page executes.
The dangers of drunk driving should not be underestimated. Not only does your own safety suffer, but also that of others. The police rely on regular checks during which a voluntary breath alcohol test is carried out. If this is refused or if there are signs of intoxication, a blood sample can be ordered to determine the actual blood alcohol content Car Motor and Sport explained.
