Drunk cyclist riots in Gotha: car badly damaged!
It was on Friday, October 10, 2025, around 5:50 p.m. when an incident took place in Gotha that could astonish even experienced road users. A 39-year-old drunk cyclist initially drew attention to himself with his bike by violently hitting the window of a car. To top it all off, he also threw stones at the vehicle, which disturbed both the established calm and the police speed cameras. As gotha-aktuell.info reports, this action clearly shows that sometimes your nerves can be pretty frayed.
After the cyclist fled after his violent act, the police did not take action. As part of a search, the hot-headed two-wheeler driver was quickly caught in the city of Gotha. A breath alcohol test showed a frightening 1.74 per mille, which clearly underlines his condition at the time. The police then had a blood sample taken at a local hospital in order to take further legal action.
Damage and legal consequences
The damage caused to the vehicle is estimated at around 2,000 euros. The cyclist is now faced with various charges. A confusing incident that raises the question: How can such extreme freakouts occur? At a time when violence and aggression often seem to be the order of the day, this particular incident has given southern Thuringia another accent that requires clarification. Maybe it was just an attempt to escape boredom or an exaggerated need for attention.
While the police in the Gotha district continue to work on solving the incident, the issue of drunk driving and, in this case, cycling will remain a hot topic. At a time when education and prevention measures are very popular, it remains to be seen whether such incidents will continue to play a role in society or whether future-oriented measures will take effect.
In the end, we can only hope that both cyclists and drivers have a good hand and keep their nerve even in difficult situations. Traffic is a sensitive issue in our cities - something is important and everyone can make a contribution to greater safety.
