64-year-old crashes in Wittenförden against the lantern and fence in Wittenförden!

Wittenförden, Deutschland - In Wittenförden, a traffic accident occurred on Thursday afternoon, which once again raised the dangers of alcohol at the wheel. Around 1:30 p.m., a 64-year-old driver in the Nordring crashed into a mast of a street lamp and finally landed on a property fence. As news.de Fortunately, the driver has answered the circumstances of the accident.

An alcohol test resulted in a value of about 0.8 per thousand - in Germany the alcohol boundary for drivers is 0.5. This means that even with such a value, serious legal consequences can threaten, as [Rechtaktuell.org] (https://www.rechtaktuell.org/glossar-verkehrrecht/ alcohol-am-steuer/) explains in detail. The driver must now expect to investigate road traffic and will be subjected to a blood sample in the hospital.

reactions to the incident

The total damage to the accident is estimated at around 3,000 euros. It becomes clear that even small amounts of alcohol can have significant effects on the ability to travel. As the study by the VUT expert society MBH & Co.KG shows, alcohol at the wheel is a serious danger for all road users. Already from 0.3 per thousand there can be noticeable impairments, with consequences such as delayed reflexes and falling attention - factors that are vital when driving.

Understanding of this can also be found in the community, because many citizens know: alcohol consumption and driving simply do not go together. The police therefore repeatedly carry out increased controls and sets up to reconnaissance campaigns to sensitize the population to the risks of alcohol consumption at the wheel.

prevention is everything

The incidents help to rethink the responsibility in road traffic in the region. Suggestions to improve traffic safety include the formation of carpools with sober drivers and the timely planning of the evening if alcohol is involved. The case clearly shows that everyone is responsible for pulling the emergency brake in good time and choosing safe alternatives.

These current events not only encourage people to rethink their drinking behavior, but also clarify that responsibility in traffic is not only a duty, but also a social responsibility. The local police will continue to intensify their control measures to improve security on the streets.
