Rapid accident in Nuremberg: Man tears off petrol pump from Crasht!

A dramatic incident occurred in Nuremberg today when a 22-year-old man drove his car into the sales room of a petrol station. The accident occurred when the driver came off the street and drove across the petrol station area, demolishing a petrol pump. The vehicle finally came to a standstill in the sales area of ​​the petrol station. Fortunately, the petrol station was vacant at the time of the accident, so that no other people were injured. However, the man himself was slightly injured and taken to the hospital. A blood sample was ordered because there is a suspicion that the driver was under the influence of alcohol or intoxicants. This would be in accordance with the results of a study that shows that alcohol-related accidents in Germany are a significant problem and the risk of accidents increases significantly due to alcohol consumption, reports the ADAC .

As an additional security measure, an automatic closure on the petrol pump prevented the leakage of gasoline, a fact that is often decisive in such situations. The amount of the damage incurred is currently still unclear, but the petrol station is now closed to clean -up work. The police have started the investigation into the exact cause of the accident and the possible influence of intoxicants or alcohol. According to PNP there are strict legal provisions in Germany that regulate the handling of alcohol.

alcohol consumption and its consequences

alcohol at the wheel is not only a personal decision, but also a serious danger for all road users. The alcohol limit in Germany is 0.5 per thousand, and reactions and concentration are already impaired from this value. Alcoholized vehicles often have a disgraceful manner, whereby in 2023 a total of 18,884 people had an accident in alcohol -related accidents and 198 of them lost their lives. These figures illustrate the serious threat, which comes from alcoholized drivers. According to quite up-to-date drivers from 1.1 per thousand are absolutely driving.

The effects of alcohol vary greatly and depend on several factors - including the body weight and the state of health of the respective person. The ability to concentrate can decrease from 0.2 per thousand. From 0.5 per thousand, the reactions are false and speeds are misjudged, which tempted the drivers to incorrectly assess risks. This often leads to dangerous situations on the streets.

prevention and legal measures

The legal consequences of a violation of the alcohol boundaries are also serious. From 0.3 per thousand threatens money or imprisonment as well as points in Flensburg. In higher values, the punishments become even more drastically, and repeat offenders are even more difficult to consequences, including a medical-psychological examination (MPU). The ADAC strongly recommends determining a sober driver for the evening or using alternative transport options to avoid alcohol at the wheel.

The investigation into the incident in Nuremberg is in full swing. The incident could again lead to intensifying the debate about alcohol at the wheel and the need for preventive measures in order to prevent similar accidents in the future
