In the early morning hours of September 8, 2024, the police in Alfeld, Lower Saxony, carried out a controlled traffic control in which a 24-year-old man from Delligsen was stopped with his car. The officials quickly noticed clear signs that pointed out alcohol consumption. A breath alcohol test confirmed her assumptions: with a value of 0.88 per thousand, the young driver was above the permitted limit. This led to an immediate driving ban and the initiation of an administrative offense procedure, which could now get a fine of 500 euros, two points in Flensburg and a one -month driving ban.

Another alarming situation occurred a little later, around 03:40 a.m., when the police had to intervene near a wine festival in Hönze. There, a 20-year-old driver from Eime was observed, who obviously steered his car in alcohol. The breath alcohol test showed terrifying 1.93 per thousand, which is well above the legal border. Due to the high alcohol content, the young man was taken to the hospital to take a blood sample. In addition, criminal proceedings were initiated in traffic for drunkenness, and the driver's license was immediately confiscated.

consequences for those affected

The consequences for both drivers are considerable. The catalog of fines stipulates that the 24-year-old is not only financially asked to check out, but also has to expect to withdraw from his driver's license. These legal measures should serve to make the streets safer and reduce driving under alcohol, which is a significant risk for all road users.

The 20-year-old driver, on the other hand, is probably put in front of a court because his offense is more serious. Drunkenness at the wheel is a serious crime that can not only lead to legal, but also lead to considerable personal consequences. The dangers that are accompanied by such behavior should not be underestimated - the likelihood of being involved in an accident increases with every drink that is consumed.

These incidents are particularly important because they draw attention to a widespread problem: alcohol at the wheel. Despite numerous reconnaissance campaigns, there are still many people who ignore the dangers and put themselves in danger. The police will carry out more controls in the coming weeks to counteract this problem, and to prevent other drivers from driving under the influence of alcohol.
