Drunk drivers on B20: 30 kilometers of snake lines in Wörth!

A spectacular incident on Autobahn 3 causes a stir and raises questions about traffic safety. On Saturday evening, the motorway police were called for an assignment after a careful road user had observed a driver who drove in striking snake lines on federal road 20 near Stallwang. This dangerous driving style alerted the authorities and led to a quick intervention by the police.

The officials finally discovered the 42-year-old man on Autobahn 3 in the direction of Regensburg. However, the first attempts to stop him failed. Despite the challenges, the police showed perseverance and was able to control the driver at the junction in Wörth an der Donau a short time later. There it became clear that the man was not ready to cooperate with the officials, but he confessed to his alcohol consumption. Such confessions are rare, but in this case the willingness to say the truth played a crucial role.

alcoholization and missing driver's license

A subsequent alcohol test confirmed the guess of the police: the driver was heavily alcoholic. It is even more alarming that he could not show a driver's license. The reason for this is just as shocking - he had only had to give up his driver's license a month ago because of a previous alcohol offense. This is a clear sign that despite his inability to drive and the legal measures, he was determined to get behind the wheel again.

The question of where the man had started his journey and whether the route he had traveled back may have been even longer than the specific 30 kilometers, remains unanswered. These details are currently the subject of intensive investigations by the police and could result in serious legal consequences for the driver.

Incidents like this illustrate the dangers caused by alcoholic driving, not only for the driver himself, but also for other road users. The motorway police do everything possible to avoid such dangerous situations, and appeals to everyone to act responsibly and never to underestimate the risk of driving under the influence of alcohol. Unfortunately, such incidents are not uncommon at a time when traffic safety is of the greatest importance, but they still shock the community.
