On the evening of October 15, 2024 around 6:50 p.m., a traffic accident occurred in Bregenz, which was supposed to affect a 17-year-old pedestrian. The incident occurred near the tax office when the girl wanted to cross a protection path. Unfortunately, it was caught by a car and the impact first thrown onto the bonnet and then onto the street. Fortunately, the young people's injuries did not suffer any serious consequences.

The driver of the vehicle, a 60-year-old man, was considerably alcoholic according to the police and also did not have a valid driver's license. He had already been withdrawn from the wheel a few years ago due to alcohol. The police found significant alcoholization when the driver was checked, which makes the incident even more serious. Driving without a driver's license and under the influence of alcohol is a dangerous combination that not only brings the driver, but also other road users in a serious danger.

People from the region are concerned about such incidents and demand stronger control of traffic safety, especially with regard to alcoholized drivers. The legal consequences for the driver are still being examined, but the severity of her offenses does not suggest that he can expect a mild punishment.

Overall, this incident shows that the ability to drive under the influence of alcohol and driving without a driver's license brings serious risks. The authorities are working on minimizing such incidents and raising awareness of traffic safety in order to ensure the safety of all road users.
