Altenburg: Drunk at the wheel after submitting the driver's license!

Wettiner Straße, 04600 Altenburg, Deutschland - In the Altenburg area, an incident was recently registered that raises questions about traffic safety. A 58-year-old driver submitted his driver's license to the local police on Monday, October 7, 2024 due to an existing driving ban. After this crucial act, however, he acted again against the traffic rules and sat behind the wheel of his car.

It seemed as if the man was not completely realized that driving was no longer allowed. His alleged misconduct was quickly revealed in Wettiner Straße when he was subjected to a traffic control. During this inspection, the officials not only noticed that the driver did not have a valid driver's license, but they also perceived alcohol smell out of his vehicle.

The consequences for the driver

A breath test by the 58-year-old showed a value of 1.19 per thousand, which indicates that he was heavily alcoholic. In Germany, the legal limit for alcohol at the wheel is 0.5 per thousand. This means that the driver was not only on the road without a driver's license, but also endangered the safety of other road users. He is now faced with serious legal consequences.

The police initiate investigations into traffic without driving license and drunkenness in traffic. Such incidents always cause a stir and show how important it is that road users adhere to the rules to ensure security on the streets.

This type of incidents is not only dangerous for those directly involved, they can also potentially lead to serious accidents that risk life in an uninvolved manner. The police appeal to all road users to act responsibly and to take the legal provisions seriously in order to increase the safety in road traffic.
