Alcohol at the wheel: Shocking numbers from Feldkirch and Bludenz!
In the night from Sunday to Monday, intensive control took place in the Feldkirch and Bludenz area, in which a total of 170 drivers were checked for alcohol at the wheel. As vorarlberg.orf.at reported, ten of these drivers were alcoholized, while seven people had consumed drugs. In four cases, the drugs could be ensured. Six drivers had to give their driver's license, two of them were on the road without a valid driver's license anyway. In addition, several advertisements and organ mandates were pronounced due to further traffic law violations.
worrying accident statistics
The numbers are alarming: In 2022, the drivers were under the influence of alcohol in more than 16,000 accidents with personal loss - these are 22 percent more than in the previous year. As Liftage action.de , 242 people lost in these incidents, and over 5,000 were seriously injured. Even with a blood alcohol content of 0.3 per thousand, the vision and attention can be affected, at 0.8 per thousand the field of vision is around 25 percent restricted. Such values lead to drastically increased response times, which massively endangers traffic safety.
In view of these facts, it is urgently needed to deal with alcohol responsibly. Consumption, even in small quantities, can significantly impair driving ability, which significantly increases the risk of accidents. Therefore, drivers should always remain sober and consider alternative transport options in the event of alcohol consumption to ensure safety on the streets.| Details | |
