Drunk driver causes accident and escapes - now the punishment is threatened!
On the night of December 30, 2024, a scandalous incident occurred in Grein: a 62-year-old man, heavily drunk, drove against a street lamp and left a license plate at the scene of the accident. The police found the driver in his garden a little later, drunk and lying on the floor when he was handed over by the officials to his wife's care. The accident took place at the intersection of the B3 with the L573 at the intersection of the B3, and the man could not explain how the incident occurred, even though he stated that he had driven his car and not damaged anything. He wanted to refuse an alkotest several times, which indicates his desolate constitution, as meinzirk.at reported.
Insurance does not pay for drivers
In another scandalous case, a driver, soberly at the time of the accident, has sought a lawsuit against his insurance when alcohol in the blood is left with 2.79 per thousand. After the incident, in which he drove against a lantern at only 20 km/h and then went to his parents, he wanted to demand reimbursement for damage to the vehicle and the lantern. However, the insurance company refused because it doubted that the high alcohol concentration only occurred after the accident. The Braunschweig district court dismissed the lawsuit and found that the driver was already alcoholic in the accident and that he had made it significantly more difficult with his behavior to clarify the accident adac.de out of. The driver remains on the damage costs and does not receive a cent reimbursement.
