Drunk drivers: Wine bottle as the last resort in Salzburg!
Drunk drivers: Wine bottle as the last resort in Salzburg!
A heavily alcoholic driver from Upper Austria caused horror in Flachgau last Saturday. The 23-year-old not only refused the alkotest, but also drank out of a wine bottle while the police watched it. Previously, he had strayed from the Wiener Bundesstraße in Wals-Siezenheim and was unharmed.
An alcoovort test of the man showed alarming over two per thousand. The consequences for him are already noticeable: his driver's license has been taken from him, and a complaint is now filed against him. Such incidents are not only dangerous, but also endanger other road users as well as the driving license, such as ADAC.
further incidents with alcohol at the tax
But the 23-year-old is not the only driver who got into difficulties in the region at the weekend. After an accident, a 44-year-old Slovenian driver also refused the alkotest after an accident on the Tauern motorway in the direction of Germany. Employees of ASFINAG intervened and took the key from her because she wanted to leave the scene of the accident. Two empty Prosecco bottles and wine were found on the back seat of your vehicle. She confessed to consumed alcohol before driving. In the case of a drug test, cocaine impairment was also determined. Since she was not able to present an identity document, it was temporarily arrested and a security deposit of 1,600 euros.
Another incident occurred on Friday when a 25-year-old man from Tennengau came off the road during an overtaking maneuver and crashed into a tree. His alkomat test resulted in 1.20 per thousand, which indicates considerable alcoholization. The man had to be saved by the fire brigade and taken to the hospital.
alcohol and consequences in road traffic
The alcohol boundaries for drivers are clearly defined and are subject to strict rules. [Know your limit] (https://www.kenn-dein-limit.de/ alcoholzicht/ alcohol-am-steuer/) explains that criminal consequences threaten from 0.3 per thousand. 0.5 to 1.09 per thousand is an administrative offense that is punished with fines and points in the Flensburg register. From 1.1 per thousand, the driver is absolutely accurate, which can lead to criminal prosecution and considerable fines, up to five years of imprisonment. Repetition offenders have to expect even tougher punishments, while the 0.0 promillary boundary for novice drivers and under 21 year olds have been in effect.
In view of the serious consequences of alcohol at the wheel, it is essential to act responsibly. In the sense of traffic safety, every driver should be aware of the risks and, if in doubt, keep their fingers off the tax. When alcoholization, the vehicle liability insurance pays for the damage of the opponent of the accident, but can subsequently claim back up to 5,000 euros, which further exacerbates the financial consequences.It is hoped that such incidents will not become a habit and that drivers become more aware of the responsibility in road traffic.
