Drunk drivers in Emmendingen: 2.0 per thousand at the wheel!

On Saturday evening, May 31, 2025, an attentive citizen alerted the Emmendingen police station when he discovered an obviously drunk driver in the parking lot of a grocery discounter in Schwarzwaldstrasse. The 48-year-old driver wanted to leave his car when the police arrived and checked him. The breath alcohol test resulted in an alarming result of 2.00 per thousand-a value that is an absolute no-go for every road user!

After a blood sample and ensuring his driver's license, the man was released, but the consequences are serious: he has to expect a criminal complaint for drunks on road traffic. Another clear case that shows how quickly a ride under the influence of alcohol can have fatal consequences!
