Drunk cyclist with toddler causes horror in Waren!
Yesterday, an incident in Waren, in the Mecklenburg Lake District, caused a stir: the police arrested a 32-year-old cyclist who was riding his bike with a four-year-old child and was sitting properly. Passers-by alerted the officers after noticing the man's precarious condition. The incident occurred on Teterower Straße.
When the police arrived at the scene, the cyclist laughed and refused to reveal his name. His behavior was anything but cooperative; he insulted and threatened the officers. He also resisted when the police tried to handcuff him. A breath alcohol test ultimately showed an impressive 2.18 per mille. This meant that the cyclist was well above the legal alcohol limit of 1.6, above which it is a criminal offense and absolute unfitness to drive is determined. This is particularly problematic because alcohol and cycling are by no means a good combination, as the ADAC also explains. There can be penalties for alcohol-related absence symptoms from as little as 0.3 per mille.
Drinking and driving – a no-go even when cycling
The legal regulations in Germany are clear: a fine of around 30 daily rates can result if you are caught cycling with a blood alcohol content of more than 1.6 per mille. There are also two points in the fitness to drive register in Flensburg. In addition, the driving license authority requires a medical-psychological examination (MPU). This regulation also applies to cyclists who do not have a driving license. If there is a risk of future alcohol consumption, cycling may even be banned.
A dangerous role model for young passengers
In this case, the police informed the youth welfare office because the man had a small child with him at the time of the incident. Consuming alcohol is an explosive matter not only in your free time, but especially for parents. As Wikipedia) explains, alcohol can significantly influence behavior and judgment, which becomes increasingly dangerous when children are involved. In addition, excessive consumption can lead to health problems that are particularly risky for pregnant women and their children.
In conclusion, the Waren incident is an example not only of the dangers of drink driving, but also of the responsibility that adults must bear for the safety of children. The police are now investigating the cyclist for drunk driving and his threats and insults towards officers.
