Ghost driver in Schwerin: 57-year-old with 2.05 per thousand!

Ghost driver in Schwerin: 57-year-old with 2.05 per thousand!

In the night of Tuesday, July 1, 2025, an incident occurred in the Cologne city area, which indicates a dangerous mix of alcohol and risky driving behavior. A 57-year-old was stopped by the police after traveling as a ghost driver on the wrong side of the street in the street on the Green Valley. A random police officer had noticed the uncertain driving style and reacted quickly by alerting his colleagues. This measure could have prevented worse consequences, because the driver was heavily alcoholic - a breath alcoholic test resulted in shocking 2.05 per thousand, which is far above the legal limit.

The police prohibited the man on the way and had blood samples removed to confirm the exact alcohol value. When checking the vehicle, a blue Ford Focus, fresh accident damage also noticed, which may be due to a collision in Grabenstrasse. Whether there was actually an accident and whether there were other participants is still uncertain. The police investigation therefore focus on the risk of road traffic and possible escape. Witnesses of the incident are requested to report on 0385–5180 2224 or by email to kk.schwerin@polmv.de to create clarity.

safe journey or risky decision?

alcohol is a cell poison that not only harms the body but also the traffic. Even small quantities, such as a single beer, can significantly increase the risk of accidents. As the magazine of Förzlalt.de states, alcohol comes with a delay in the bloodstream, which means that many drivers underestimate the effects of their drunkness. If you get a blood alcohol value of 0.5 to 1.09 per thousand, you have to expect a month of driving and high fines, with a value over 1.1 per thousand it gets really serious and the consequences can even result in imprisonment.

The legal alcohol boundaries are clearly defined: for novice drivers and people under the age of 21 even an absolute ban on alcohol applies. With a blood alcohol value from 0.3 per thousand, the relative inability to drive can already be determined. From 1.6 per thousand is not only a punishment, but also the medical-psychological examination (MPU), which made it difficult for many drivers to recover the driving license. In addition, one should note that accidents also have legal consequences in the event of an alcohol influence, since insurance can be made in such cases.

Witnesses wanted!

The investigation continues and the Cologne police will do everything possible to clarify the events of that night. Pneumatic enlightenment and prevention represent essential components in combating alcohol at the wheel, as is the same as the adac emphasized. It is hoped that such incidents can be minimized in the future.
