On the evening of August 8, this became clear again when official checked a drunk cyclist who had previously involved a loud conflict with a woman. The 34-year-old man on a bike that was obviously alcoholic brought the police on alert.

From confrontation to traffic control

The officials came quickly and were able to stop the 34-year-old. An alcohol test carried out showed an alarming value of 1.9 per thousand. This not only leads to legal consequences, but also throws a light on the dangers of alcohol abuse in road traffic, even on a bike.

Schwedt: Another drunk on the wheel

In another situation on the same evening in Karl-Teichmann-Straße in Schwedt, police officers noticed a cyclist who drove without switched on lighting.
