Drunk cyclists ram patrol cars for traffic control!

In the night of October 19, 2024, an unusual incident occurred in the night of October 19, 2024 as part of the traffic safety campaign "Licht Test 2024 - Safe through the darkness". Around 3:00 a.m., the police wanted to undergo a check -up between Gernrode and Kirchworbis. But the driver, a 44-year-old man, apparently had other plans and tried to escape control.

However, the fleeing cyclist crashed into the passenger side of the patrol car, which led to property damage of around EUR 1,000.00. Fortunately, the cyclist was not injured. During the subsequent check, it turned out that the man was under the influence of alcohol. This resulted in the police initiated criminal proceedings and ordered blood sampling.

Details of the incident

The "Licht Test 2024" campaign has the goal of increasing traffic safety, especially during the dark season. Nevertheless, this event once again shows that not all participants in road traffic contribute to a safe environment. The dangers of alcohol consumption, especially in road traffic, are known. This episode illustrates the need for traffic controls to prevent such situations.

In connection with this incident, the role of the police is emphasized in the guarantee of traffic safety. It is crucial that the law is enforced to minimize risky behaviors. In such cases, the advertisement and blood sample are common procedures that the police use to ensure security on the streets and to take legal action against the people concerned.
