Drunk driving: Waldviertler endangers others and is on trial!
A frightening incident occurred recently when a 28-year-old man, according to noen.at, due to emotional stress in the middle of divorce proceedings, he went on a daring killing spree behind the wheel of a vehicle while drunk with a blood alcohol level of 2.8. The young man drove his car at brutal speed and risked not only his life, but also that of many others by driving on the opposite lane at times at 140 km/h. Due to his reckless driving behavior, he forced oncoming drivers to slam on the brakes, thereby endangering the lives of numerous road users. In court, the man regretfully admitted his wrongdoing: "I shouldn't have drunk anything" and showed insight into the danger of his behavior.
Although the judge was concerned, the man was sentenced to one year on probation and a fine of 720 euros for coercion, resistance to state authority and endangering physical safety. Interestingly, this behavior could be linked to the difficulties in the course of the divorce proceedings, which, according to divorce.de, often involving emotional escalations. The year of separation that is legally required to file for divorce can be very stressful for couples. In divorce proceedings, courts place particular emphasis on the fact that the marriage has broken down, which often leads to heated arguments. The legislature has introduced the breakdown principle, which focuses more on the state of the marriage than on questions of personal guilt.
In the 28-year-old's case, his impulsive and dangerous action could be seen as a direct expression of the emotional distress that many couples feel during divorce proceedings. Although there was no personal injury in this specific case, the incident highlights the often unpredictable reactions of people in emotional crises. Divorce proceedings can place enormous psychological strain, which can not only lead to personal conflict, but can also occasionally result in violent or risky actions.
