Driver with 2.76 per thousand: Police stops dangerous vehicle!

On the evening of May 11, 2025, a serious incident was reported on the L141, near a hardware store. An attentive road user watched a vehicle that was traveling in a striking driving style. It moved into snake lines and also drove extremely slowly. The suspicion suggested that the driver may have been dramatically confirmed a short time later.

The vehicle in question in question in the following remained on the route, presumably due to a technical defect. The police arrived shortly after this message to check the Situation. The 36-year-old driver was addressed and it turned out that his breath alcohol concentration was a terrifying 2.76 per thousand. This results in serious legal consequences, since there is an absolute inability to drive from 1.1 per thousand. The driver's driver's license was immediately secured.

Legal consequences of drunkenness at the wheel

According to the applicable regulations, there is an administrative offense even at less than 0.5 per thousand. In this case, however, the driver significantly exceeds this limit. There is a criminal offense that can lead to severe punishments. According to paragraph 24a para. 1 StVG, a breath alcohol concentration of 0.25 mg/l 0.5 per thousand blood alcohol corresponds. In order to determine the exact BAC values ​​(Blood Alcohol Concentration), blood sample is usually required, which was also carried out in this case. This is necessary because the measured values ​​are not sufficient with an alkomat to negotiate in such serious cases.

In the case of such violations, there are high fines, points in the driving suitability register and the arrangement of a medical-psychological examination (MPU), especially for values ​​from 1.6 per thousand. The driver's license can also be withdrawn for a long time. Insurance companies also act rigorously and can make recourse claims if the influence of alcohol is underflooring if the driver was considerably alcoholic.

prevention and education

The cases of alcohol at the wheel are a significant risk to all road users. Therefore, the authorities take measures to contain this problem. Alcohol at the wheel not only endangers the driver's life, but also that of the inmates and other road users. The alcohol boundaries are clearly defined: An absolute ban on alcohol applies to beginners and people under the age of 21, while a criminal liability can occur from 0.3 per thousand.

In addition, all alcohol tests that are usually carried out by blowing into an alkomat are converted into per thousand. An alkomat measures the breath alcohol content in MG/L and multiplies this value with two to obtain the corresponding alcohol values. A refusal of the breath test automatically leads to a blood sample, which the Policez can oblige to act legally.

Finally, it remains to be seen that every risk of taking the driver and passengers when driving under the influence of alcohol should be avoided. The financial and personal consequences exceed the supposed advantages of driving in such a state.
