Driving under the influence of alcohol in Suhl: 0.79 per mille in the blood – driving license in danger!
In Suhl on Monday night, the police stopped a driver who had apparently looked a little too deeply into his cup. The breath alcohol test showed an impressive 0.89 per mille, but the test used in court showed a slightly lower value of 0.79 per mille. This deviation between the two measurements has no consequences for the driver, but he was prohibited from continuing his journey and is threatened with a misdemeanor charge inSuedthueringen reported.
Drinking and driving is a sensitive issue and can quickly become expensive. In Germany there are strict blood alcohol limits for drivers. There is an absolute alcohol ban of 0.0 per mille for novice drivers under the age of 21 and for people on probation. But caution is also advised for other drivers: from 0.3 per mille, the first consequences can be threatened, while a value of 0.5 to 1.09 per mille is already an administrative offense, which is punished with a fine of up to 500 euros, two points in Flensburg and a one-month driving ban, as the ADAC describes (ADAC).
Alcohol limits at a glance
The strict rules for driving under the influence of alcohol in Germany should not be underestimated. Below we have compiled the most important blood alcohol limits:
- 0,0 Promille: Absolutes Alkoholverbot für unter 21-Jährige und Fahranfänger in der Probezeit.
- 0,3 Promille: Beginn der relativen Fahruntüchtigkeit, erste Konsequenzen möglich.
- 0,5 bis 1,09 Promille: Ordnungswidrigkeit, Bußgeld bis zu 500 Euro, zwei Punkte, ein Monat Fahrverbot.
- 1,1 Promille: Absolute Fahruntüchtigkeit, strafbar.
- 1,6 Promille: MPU (medizinisch-psychologische Untersuchung) zwingend erforderlich.
As [meine-auto.info](https://www.meine-auto.info/ratgeber/ Alcohol-am-steuer/promillelimit-in-deutschland.html) notes, there are also regulations for cyclists: a level of 0.5 per mille or more is considered an administrative offense. And anyone who thinks that a drunken bike ride is unproblematic is wrong. From 1.7 per mille the cyclist is classified as completely unfit to drive.
The consequences become more severe with repeated violations. In such cases, you not only face higher fines, but also driving bans and a possible prison sentence. Taking a look at your own blood alcohol level should not only be critical for the safety of other road users, but also for your own driving license.
