Driver under the influence of alcohol: Traffic control in Hainfeld exposes alert value

an careless decision with consequences

On the evening of July 12, 2024, the police carried out a traffic control in the Hainfeld area, which led to an unexpected result. A 55-year-old driver from the Pirmasens area admitted that he had drunk a wine spritzer before lying back behind. This careless decision should result in serious consequences.

The voluntary breath alcohol test showed a value of 0.64 per thousand, which led to an immediate driving ban and the initiation of an administrative offense procedure. In addition to a fine of at least 500 euros and two points in the driving appropriation register, the driver must also expect a month of driving. A supposedly harmless wine spritzer had far -reaching consequences.

The Edenkoben police inspection indicates how important it is to deal responsibly with alcoholic beverages and never take part in road traffic under the influence of alcohol. The risk for yourself and other road users is simply too high.

It remains to be hoped that this incident serves as a warning and contributes to raising awareness of the dangers of alcohol at the wheel. A single rash decision can influence the lives of many people and should therefore always be avoided.
