Drunk controls: two alcoholic cyclists in the Kyffhäuserkreis
In the Kyffhäuserkreis, there were interesting but worrying incidents on the last Saturday evening when two cyclists were noticeable by the police in alcoholized condition. The first incident occurred in Bad Frankenhausen, where a 56-year-old man was checked. The breath alcohol test that the officials carried out showed an alarming value of 2.83 per thousand. This was not only a serious risk to the driver himself, but also for all other road users.
The police acted immediately and ordered a blood sample. In addition, a procedure for drunkenness in traffic was initiated against the cyclist. This measure is part of the measures that the authorities take to ensure security on the streets and to reduce the number of alcohol -related accidents.
Another incident in Greußen
The laws stipulate that a blood alcohol value of 1.6 per thousand or more than drunkenness in traffic is considered. The fact that both drivers were far above this limit shows that the dangers are often not taken seriously enough. It is important to become aware of your own responsibility in road traffic, regardless of whether you ride a car or a bike.
The authorities face the challenge of raising awareness of the dangers of alcohol consumption in road traffic. Many people falsely think that you are less dangerous on a bike than in a car, but that's a fallacy. The police will continue to actively act against alcoholized traffic to keep the streets safe.
Overall, these incidents illustrate how important it is to act responsibly in road traffic. The combination of alcohol and driving, regardless of whether by car or bicycle, can have dangerous consequences for everyone involved. The police have already strengthened their measures to minimize such risks and will continue to control intensively in the future to ensure safety in road traffic.
