Alcoholized pensioners (80) endangers traffic on the district road!

On Sunday afternoon, an 80-year-old pensioner from the district of Neuburg-Schrobenhausen caused excitement when he drove his red vehicle in striking snake lines on the Konstein and Spindeltal district road. This uncertain driving style led to dangerous situations with oncoming traffic several times, since the driver also got off the road several times and got into the banquet.

As the police said, it quickly turned out that the reason for the abrupt driving maneuvers was an alcoholization of the senior. A breath alcohol test carried out resulted in a value of 0.9 per thousand, a value that is well above the permitted limit. This results in serious legal consequences, since the 80-year-old now has to expect criminal proceedings for road traffic.

The Eichstätt police inspection has an urgent request to other road users: Anyone who was endangered or were damaged due to the uncertain driving style of the pensioner is asked to report to the police. This could help collect further important information and to ensure security on the streets.

alcohol consumption at the wheel remains a serious problem on the streets, and older drivers in particular can be endangered by health changes in their reaction and judgment. The police appealed to all drivers to act responsibly and, if in doubt, do without driving.

The endangerment of other road users from alcoholized driving is an issue that always triggers intensive discussions. The risks are particularly clear in this special incident, since an encounter with the pensioner could easily have developed into a serious accident. It remains to be seen which measures the authorities will take in the future to prevent such incidents.

Details on the legal steps and other measures of the police are still in clarification and will be announced in the near future to inform the public about further developments www.augsburger-allgemeine.de .
