Murderous accident shock: Mercedes driver with 1.5 per mille escapes!
On the night of October 6th, a serious incident occurred on the A3, which caused a stir not only for the driver involved, but also for the investigators. A 45-year-old Mercedes driver got into a construction site and crashed into barrier beacons. After the accident, the man initially fled on foot, but was identified using dashcam footage. This reports that Rhenish advertising paper.
Police investigations revealed that the driver had more than 1.5 per mille of alcohol in his blood. A breath alcohol test left no doubt about his ability to drive, which can colloquially be described as “no longer present”. In addition, the police found that the driver had a fake Slovakian ID card and a fake driver's license in the vehicle. The man was immediately arrested and a blood test was ordered. The emergency services are now taking over further investigations into the allegations of drunk driving and hit and run.
Drunk driving in Germany
The legal framework for drunk driving is clearly defined in Germany. Serious consequences like this can occur from just 0.5 per mille JHB legal reported. If you have a blood alcohol concentration of 1.1 per mille, you are considered completely unfit to drive. In addition, accidents or endangerment of other road users can result in high penalties, including fines, the revocation of the driver's license and possible prison sentences for repeat offenders.
Especially against the background of the events described, it is important to emphasize that drinking alcohol while driving endangers not only your own life, but also that of other road users. The alcohol limit in Germany is strictly regulated: While novice drivers and drivers under the age of 21 have an absolute ban on alcohol, the limit for others is 0.3 per mille for relative inability to drive and 0.5 to 1.09 per mille for administrative offenses. From 1.1 per mille it becomes criminally relevant, and from 1.6 per mille a medical-psychological examination (MPU) is essential, as is the case ADAC explained.
In the 45-year-old's case, the responsibility is clear: the combination of alcohol, an accident and the subsequent escape could cost him serious legal consequences. Police have said they will continue to investigate and it remains to be seen what legal consequences will arise from this incident.
