68-year-old with 1.64 per mille: drunk driving on Rügen!
An unpleasant incident occurred on Thursday, July 10, 2025, on Billrothstrasse in Bergen on the island of Rügen. A 68-year-old driver of a Peugeot came to the attention of the police after he was heavily intoxicated at the wheel. A breath alcohol test showed an alarming level of 1.64 per mille, which catapulted him into serious drunk driving territory. This is not only a danger for himself, but also for other road users, because even after one beer the risk of an accident can increase significantly, as fachanwalt.de points out.
The driver was initially taken to the police station at 4:20 p.m. to collect evidence, where a blood sample was taken. It also turned out that he did not have a valid driver's license. The vehicle keys were confiscated because he could only name one person who had a valid driver's license and could pick up the vehicle. This not only creates additional difficulties, but also has legal consequences. Investigations into drunk driving and driving without a license were initiated immediately, according to the Ostsee-Zeitung.
Penalties and consequences
The legal consequences of such drunk driving can be significant. If you have a blood alcohol level of 1.6 or more, you can face a license revocation, points in Flensburg, fines and even a medical-psychological examination (MPU). These can be ordered to determine fitness to drive, which for many drivers means a significant disruption to their lives. The incident on Billrothstrasse illustrates how dangerous it can be to lose control of your vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. Many people believe they can still drive safely after drinking alcohol, but underestimate the risks associated with any blood alcohol level.
The social relevance of drunk driving should not be underestimated. Alcohol is a cell toxin that damages the body, and the risks associated with it are not just theoretical. It is important to raise awareness of the dangers and act to ensure the safety of all road users.
Given the circumstances, it is advisable to maintain road safety and either refrain from driving when consuming alcohol or hire someone with a driving license. In this way, you can protect not only yourself, but also others from becoming involved in dangerous situations.
