Drunk driving: 68-year-old caught with residual alcohol in Dreißigacker!
Early on Sunday morning, October 13, 2025, a traffic stop in the Dreißigacker district caused a stir. A 68-year-old driver who had just bought freshly baked Sunday rolls was stopped by the police. It quickly became apparent that the previous evening's enjoyment had left its mark. The breath alcohol test showed a value of 0.37 mg/l, which corresponds to a blood alcohol level of 0.74. This was well above the legal limit for drivers.
As the police report, strict rules that are anchored in the road traffic regulations apply from just 0.3 per mille. This “relative inability to drive” results in legal consequences even if driving behavior is conspicuous. Values of 0.5 per mille or more result in a fine of at least 500 euros and points in the Flensburg register. In this case, the driver now has to expect a driving ban of one month, which is definitely a financial and practical blow for him.
Expensive Sunday sandwiches
The affected driver will feel that drinking and driving can be expensive, and not just because of the high fines they will pay. When asked how much his rolls ultimately cost, he can only smile and at the same time keep an eye on the remaining alcohol. For many road users, drinking alcohol the evening before is a widespread phenomenon and the dangers should not be underestimated.
The police are also taking a warning look at the issue of residual alcohol. Even those who celebrated the day before can still be caught with brandy in their blood the next morning. According to ADAC, this can have devastating consequences for your driving license. Anyone who thinks that after a sleepless night they will get back into the green could be in for a nasty surprise.
Safety comes first
A look at the blood alcohol limits shows how important it is to be aware of your own fitness to drive: Anyone caught with a blood alcohol level below 0.0 can expect a fine of 250 euros and one point. A value of 1.1 per mille means that you are “absolutely unfit to drive” and can have serious criminal consequences. At 1.6 per mille, a medical-psychological examination is even expected if you are repeatedly caught driving under the influence of alcohol.
The details published in Know your limit are alarming and show that people should be better informed about the effects of alcohol on the road. The ban does not only apply to repeat offenders, but also affects all road users who get behind the wheel.
The situation in Dreißigacker makes it clear once again: careless use of alcohol can endanger not only your wallet, but also your own safety and the safety of other road users. In times when one of the main reasons for traffic accidents is alcohol abuse, the only thing left to say is: take responsibility and stick to the rules. After all, the trip to the nearest bakery isn't the only thing that can lead to an expensive Sunday!
