Driving license away! Footballer Hinteregger caught on alcohol ride

Bezirk Feldkirchen, Österreich - Martin Hinteregger, a prominent football player and Champions League winner, lost his driver's license after he was drunk drunk during the night from 6th to June 7th during a police control in the Feldkirchen district. According to Laola1 an alcohol value of 2,3 per thousand was determined. Hinteregger, who is 32 years old, refused to test the Alkomatentest, which forced the police to accept a value of at least 1.6 per thousand.

The immediate withdrawal of his driver's license followed and will apply for at least six months. During this time, he is not entitled to keep a vehicle. In addition, he faces fine between 1,600 and 5,900 euros. The amount of the punishment can vary, in particular because repetition offices threaten higher sanctions, as the Kleine Zeitung reports: Kleine Zeitung .

Legal consequences for alcohol trips

accidents from the influence of alcohol are a serious problem on the streets. According to bussgeldkatalog.org , legal steps can be initiated from an alcoholic value of 0.3 per thousand in the event of endangering behavior. In Hinteregger's case, however, the value was far above the legal limit values. In the first violation that exceeds the alcohol value of 0.5 per thousand, the result is fines and points in the Flenystem, whereby the amount of the punishment increases with increasing alcohol number.

For drivers who have alcohol in the blood over 1.6 per thousand, a medical-psychological examination (MPU) is required, which also means additional costs that can be up to 2,500 euros. These measures are intended to help increase the safety in road traffic and prevent alcohol trips.

Hinteregger, who won the Europa League with Eintracht Frankfurt in 2022 and is a triple champion with Red Bull Salzburg, not only put his driver's license with this Situation, but also also jeopardized his good reputation. In April 2023, another criminal proceedings for assault were regulated out of court, in which he had to pay 5,500 euros to the court. These incidents throw a shadow on his professional career.
