alcohol tests and their consequences

The implementation of blood tests is suspected of drug or alcohol abuse. In Germany, it is important to somehow attract attention in traffic to get such a test. For example, road users can be subjected to a blood test in the event of conspicuous behavior. These tests are legally binding because they are carried out by a doctor and are considered evidence in court, while pre -tests are not recognized as such, bussgeldkatalog.org.

A blood test is always ordered when police officers have suspected noise -related traffic crime. It is important to mention that the people concerned have to tolerate the removal and not be allowed to resist, otherwise they go into legal difficulties. As a rule, the results of a blood test are available within 24 hours.

alcohol boundaries and fines

The alcohol boundaries in Germany are clearly regulated: an absolute alcohol ban of 0.0 per thousand applies to beginners and people under the age of 21. From 0.3 per thousand you are relatively accurate, whereby from 0.5 to 1.09 per thousand already threatening administrative offenses with corresponding fines. From a value of 1.1 per thousand one is considered absolutely driving and this can lead to difficult legal consequences, including license withdrawal and a possible imprisonment, such as [adac.de] (https://www.adac.de/recht/verkehrs-Deutschland/promille-auto/).

The punishments for driving under the influence of alcohol are not to be scoffed at: Anyone who is caught at 0.5 to 1.09 per thousand while driving must expect a fine of up to 500 euros, two points in Flensburg and one month of driving ban. For higher values, even a medical-psychological examination (MPU) may be required.

Finally, this incident shows again how important it is to sit responsibly behind the wheel. Drugs and alcohol poisoning not only endanger your own life, but also that of other road users. A good knack for planning the return trip - especially after celebrations - can be worth gold here!
