Cyclist with 1.66 per thousand stopped: traffic control on Kesselbachstrasse

A cheerful evening ended in a nightmare for a 43-year-old on Friday, July 12th, 2024. The man was traveling on Kesselbachstrasse with his bike when he was subjected to a traffic control by the police. During the check, the officials found that the cyclist smelled of alcohol. A breath alcohol test resulted in a concentration of 1.66 per thousand, which is far above the permitted limit.

The consequences were serious: the man was not allowed to continue, a blood sample was taken and an investigation was initiated. This shows that alcohol consumption and cycling are not a good combination and can have serious consequences.

It is important to emphasize that alcoholic cycling is not only dangerous, but also violates the law. The police acted consistently to ensure security on the streets and to point out that alcoholized driving of all kinds is not tolerated.

The incident serves as a memory of the importance of responsible action in road traffic. Every driver, whether by bike or car, must be aware that alcohol can significantly impair the suitability for driving and thus endanger your life and that of others.
