Drunk driving without a license: 21-year-old stopped in Zorneding!

On the night of October 12, 2024, officers from the Poing police in Zorneding became aware of a conspicuous Smart car that was traveling on the B304 without a license plate. This discovery quickly led to the vehicle being checked because the car was driving in the dark and without a license plate. Such situations often attract the attention of the police as they can often indicate further violations.

During the inspection, it turned out that the 21-year-old driver from Ukraine was not only driving without a valid driver's license, but was also emitting the smell of alcohol. A voluntary breath alcohol test confirmed the police's suspicions: the alcohol level tested was over one per mille. In Germany, this is a clear indication that someone who is so heavily intoxicated is not fit to drive and must be stopped at all costs.

Alcohol and no driver's license

After the alcohol content was determined, the police officers had to accompany the young man to the local office to take a blood sample. This measure is common in order to be able to determine the exact blood alcohol level in the laboratory. It is important to emphasize that driving under the influence of alcohol in Germany is subject to strict legal consequences, which can result in both fines and points in Flensburg.

Another problem for the driver was that he did not have a valid driver's license. This is a serious violation that will cause additional legal difficulties. In addition, his Smart had to be towed from the main road due to a lack of fuel. Leaving cars on the road without adequate fuel can seriously jeopardize road safety and is a major risk not only to the driver but also to other road users.

The combination of drinking and driving and driving without a license is a serious offense that usually results in severe penalties. The police carry out regular checks to counteract such behavior and protect the public. If such incidents become more frequent, this could also lead to more intensive monitoring and action by traffic authorities.

The investigation into this case is ongoing and police will take further steps to ensure the young man is held accountable. It remains to be seen how the court will decide on this case and what penalties will ultimately be imposed. For more information about this incident, see the current reporting on www.merkur.de.
