Shock in Fürstenwalde: Alcohol drama escalates during traffic control!
In Fürstenwalde, in the Oder-Spree district, a traffic stop took a dramatic turn on the night of July 13, 2025. First, a 35-year-old driver was stopped at 2:30 a.m. for speeding. During the check it turned out that the driver's breath alcohol level was 0.9 per mille. This means she clearly exceeded the legally set limits, which are between 0.0 and 1.6 per mille for drivers in Germany, depending on age and experience. People under the age of 21 and novice drivers in their probationary period even have to abstain from alcohol completely, otherwise they face fines and points in Flensburg, as ADAC announces.
But the situation escalated: the driver wanted to continue driving despite being drunk. Her 42-year-old partner did not agree with the police's action and attacked the officers. The police subsequently used pepper spray on him and he was taken into custody. What is spectacular is that the couple's 14-year-old daughter was also drunk and got involved in the argument. The trio now has to expect several reports, and the responsible youth welfare office will be informed about the incident, as Tagesspiegel reports.
Legal consequences
Prepared for many dangers
Drunk driving is not only a traffic hazard, but also has serious consequences for drivers. In addition to the immediate danger to yourself and other road users, you can also face driving bans and fines. In the worst case scenario, your driver's license will be revoked. Motor vehicle liability insurance can also reject claims for damages in the event of an accident under the influence of alcohol or demand reimbursement of up to 5,000 euros if the policyholder was drunk. Against this background, it is extremely important to be aware of the dangers and, if in doubt, to leave the car behind.
The incident in Fürstenwalde shows once again how quickly a traffic stop can escalate. The police acted decisively in this case to protect both themselves and other road users. The legal consequences are likely to be serious for those involved and are intended to send a clear message against drunk driving.
