Shock in Fürstenwalde: Alcohol drama escalated for traffic control!

in Fürstenwalde, in the Oder-Spree district, a traffic control on the night of July 13, 2025 took a dramatic turn. First, a 35-year-old driver was stopped at 2:30 a.m. for excessive speed. During the check, it turned out that the driver's breath alcohol value was 0.9 per thousand. In doing so, it clearly exceeded the legally defined boundaries that are between 0.0 and 1.6 per thousand for drivers in Germany, depending on age and experience. People under the age of 21 and beginners in the trial period even have to do without alcohol, otherwise they face fines and points in Flensburg, such as [ADAC] (https://www.adac.de/verkehr/recht/verkehrs-demalanden-Deutschland/promille-auto/) announced.

But the Situation escalated: the driver wanted to continue driving despite her alcoholization. Her 42-year-old partner did not agree with the police measure and attacked the officials. As a result, the police started pepper spray against him, whereupon he was taken into custody. It is spectacular that the 14-year-old daughter of the couple was also alcoholized and interfered with dealing with. The trio now has to expect several ads, and the responsible youth welfare office is informed about the incident, as [https://www.tagesspiegel.de/berlin/verkehrskurrolle-eines-autos-Eskaliert-- alcohol-14016761.html).

legal consequences

describes in detail.

prepared for many dangers

Alcohol at the wheel is not only a traffic hazard, but also brings serious consequences for the drivers. In addition to the immediate danger to themselves and other road users, driving bans and fines can also threaten. In the worst case, the driver's license is withdrawn. In the event of an accident, vehicle liability insurance can also reject claims for damages under the influence of alcohol or make claims of up to 5000 euros if the policyholder was alcoholic. Against this background, it is extremely important to be aware of the dangers and, if in doubt, to leave the car better.

The incident in Fürstenwalde shows once again how quickly a traffic control can escalate. In this case, the police acted determined to protect themselves and other road users. The legal consequences should be serious for those involved and should set a clear sign against alcohol at the wheel.
