Drunk driving: Ms. insults police officers after a serious accident

A 39-year-old has had a drunk trip in Eckernförde, which now has judicial consequences. On the evening of a September she celebrated with colleagues in Alt Duvenstedt, but declined to spend the night on site and instead drove home. On the way to Groß Wittensee, her car landed in the ditch, which the police called on the scene around two o'clock. During the control, a breath alcohol value of over two per thousand was measured by the woman.

After her accident, the accused tried to flee in the hospital while insulting the emergency services. In her statement, she stated that she could only vaguely remember the crime and spoke of a "film tear". The incidents had serious consequences for women: she lost her driver's license and job. In addition, she was diagnosed with moderate depression, which resulted in inpatient treatment. In the meantime, however, she has found a job again and is aiming to regain her driver's license.

judicial decision and legal background

Richter Niklas Witt temporarily hired the trial against the 39-year-old, but on the condition that she pays 500 euros to the police. This decision is part of the legal examination in connection with the drunk trip, which is a frequently committed offense in accordance with Section 316 of the Criminal Code. Such an act can lead to the withdrawal of the driver's license, which is particularly problematic for professional drivers, as is explained on Tarededen.de

The law does not regulate when driving under the influence of alcohol is punishable, but the case law distinguishes between different levels of alcohol. From an alcohol value of 1.1 per thousand, the driver is considered absolutely accurate, which usually results in the withdrawal of the driving license. In addition, in extreme cases, possible inability to guilt can be determined with a value of 2.0 per thousand.
