Last weekend there were two serious traffic accidents in Trier, in which alcoholized drivers caused considerable damage to property. Fortunately, there were no injuries, but the incidents throw a worrying light on the dangers of alcoholic driving.

The first accident occurred on Friday, January 10th, at 8:45 p.m. on Bitburger Straße, at the traffic light system to the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Brücke. A 32-year-old Luxembourg driver who was traveling on the left turn lane apparently bothered her smartphone and thus got on the right track, where she collided with another car. A breath alcohol test resulted in an alarming value of 2.95 per thousand.

second incident and drastic consequences

The second incident took place on Saturday at 00:20 in the Oerenstrasse. Here was a 23-year-old driver with 2.61 per thousand. He damaged four vehicles during his trip, with a tire of his car detached due to the collision. He showed himself unreasonably in the police measures and was then taken into custody.

In both cases, blood samples were removed to determine the final alcohol concentration. The police also secured the driver's driver's licenses. This guide certificate for several months is likely to be in the room. The possibility of a psychological report for the suitability of the drivers to conduct motor vehicles could also be checked.

alcohol boundaries and legal consequences

The legal framework for driving under the influence of alcohol is clearly defined in Germany. According to the provisions, no alcohol may be in the blood for beginners and young drivers who are under 21 years old - there is a alcohol boundary of 0.0. The following applies to experienced drivers: from 0.3 per thousand a relative inability to drive is accepted, while from 1.1 per thousand is spoken of absolute inability to drive. In such cases, the consequences are drastic and not only contain fines, but also points in the driving suitability register, driving bans as well as the possibility of a medical-psychological examination (MPU) with a value of 1.6 per thousand or more.

Another aspect is that the vehicle liability insurance usually pays in the event of accidents under the influence of alcohol, but can reclaim up to 5,000 euros, which can significantly increase the financial effects for the drivers. These legal requirements and the potentially serious consequences illustrate the dangers that drive under the influence of alcohol and underline the need for responsible behavior in road traffic.

alcohol at the wheel remains a critical topic. Despite the limited borders, alcohol is dangerous and was obviously ignored by the drivers in both cases. Such incidents raise awareness of the importance of considering the alcohol boundaries and driving responsibly so as not to put themselves and other road users in danger.

In summary, it can be determined that the incidents in Trier not only exemplify the risks of driving under the influence of alcohol, but also serve as an urgent reminder to take the applicable regulations seriously. [Rhein-Zeitung] reports that traffic in Germany is repeatedly endangered by such offenses. In addition, the legal consequences are considerable and should serve as a deterrent example. [ADAC] explains that the legislator sets clear limits to avoid accidents, and [SE legally] complements the need to follow these rules to ensure security on our streets.
