Alcohol ride in Prussian Oldendorf: 67-year-old loses a driver's license!

A 67-year-old driver in Prussian Oldendorf noticed a patrol car crew when he controled his vehicle at 9:50 a.m. on Wednesday and with uncertain driving behavior. During the subsequent review, the police found a alleged alcohol smell with the driver, which is why he was brought to the guard Lübbecke.

In the guard, the man was taken from a blood sample to determine the exact blood alcohol content. In addition, the driver's license of the 67-year-old was confiscated, as radiowestfalica.de reported.

legal foundations for drunk driving

alcohol consumption can lead to driving inability and has far -reaching consequences. If you suspect drunk driving, the removal of a blood sample to determine the blood alcohol content (BAK) can be arranged. As a rule, a judge makes the decision to take blood. However, if a judge is not available in time, the public prosecutor or the police can also order them so as not to endanger the success of the investigation.

according to Strassenverkehrtamt.de If there are clues for a drunk trip, the suspect's apartment may be entered and the person concerned is taken away to take blood. A breath alcohol measurement, on the other hand, can be denied by the person concerned, while no consent is required for the removal of a blood sample, unless there is a health risk. The blood sample is carried out by a doctor and the person concerned must tolerate them, but do not actively participate.
