Bautzen driver caught with 1.28 per mille: driver's license lost!
On the night of Friday, June 27, 2025, there was an incident on the connecting road between Kotitz and Gröditz that once again illustrates the dangers of drinking alcohol while driving. According to Sächsische, a 22-year-old German driver was checked and had an impressive 1.28 per mille. Such values are not only worrying, but also a clear indicator of complete inability to drive.
The young man had to immediately undergo a blood test while his driver's license was secured. He will have to answer for drunk driving, which requires a lot of work for GmbH lawyers for low blood alcohol levels.
Alcohol limits and their consequences
The legal framework for drunk driving is clear and, above all, restrictive. As the ADAC explains, there is a strict zero blood alcohol limit for novice drivers and people under 21 years of age. Anyone driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.3 can be liable to prosecution in the event of an accident, even if they are not driving conspicuously.
From 0.5 per mille it gets really expensive: This is where the administrative offense begins, which comes with a fine of 500 euros, two points in Flensburg and a one-month driving ban. At 1.1 per mille, driving is clearly illegal - you could face fines or even prison sentences, depending on the severity of the offense.
An even tougher rule applies to repeat offenders, who can also expect more severe penalties. Anyone caught at 1.6 per mille must pass a medical-psychological examination in order to regain their ability to drive - a goal that not everyone succeeds in.
The importance of not drinking and driving
Even small amounts of alcohol can cause you to lose control of the vehicle. And as [Know Your Limit](https://www.kenn-dein-limit.de/ Alcohol Verzicht/ethanol-am-steuer/) notes, novice drivers and young drivers are particularly at risk. In addition to the legal consequences, the risk of an accident with often devastating consequences is also a serious issue. Because even if values are below the legal limit, you may be partially at fault in an accident.
In summary, the incident in Bautzen shows: Drunk driving remains a taboo and has no place in road traffic. Anyone who behaves differently is taking a high risk – for themselves and other road users. Therefore, refraining from drinking and driving should be a top priority for everyone. Good advice for anyone on the road!
