Drunk cyclist in Schwerin calls police for alcohol test!
In Schwerin, a 23-year-old cyclist could no longer hide his dizziness on Friday evening. To be precise, he knocked on the window of a patrol car to ask for a breathalyzer test. How NDR According to reports, he did this at the traffic lights on the corner of Schelfstrasse and Knaudtstrasse and immediately admits that he had previously consumed some alcoholic drinks at an event.
The test produced a remarkable result of 1.75 per mille. This has put the young man in a serious legal dilemma. The police opened a criminal case for drunk driving. A look at the legal framework shows that with such a value he is in any case considered absolutely unfit to drive, as is the case ADAC explained. From 1.6 per mille you not only face fines, but also points in the driving fitness register in Flensburg and the ordering of a medical-psychological examination (MPU).
The legal consequences in detail
The legal consequences of drunk driving should not be underestimated. From a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.3 per mille, penalties can be imposed for alcohol-related failures. From 1.6 per mille, the cyclist is considered criminally liable, which could cost him at least 30 daily rates, which are based on his monthly net salary. The regulations for e-bikes should also not be neglected here: they are subject to the same alcohol limits as normal bicycles, while faster e-bikes are considered motor vehicles and are subject to different laws.
The possible fines and consequences for a BAC of 1.1 per mille or more are also serious. High fines of up to 1,500 euros can also be imposed for repeated violations. It is also particularly bitter for driving license holders: If they are convicted, they have to expect a driving ban, even if they were not driving a car at the time of the crime Catalog of fines clarified.
Conclusion
The story of the severely intoxicated cyclist in Schwerin makes it clear that caution is also required when cycling when alcohol is involved. A casual after-work beer shouldn't end in a legal mess. Whether on two or four wheels, the alcohol limit remains and the consequences can be expensive. Maybe all the more reason to go to bed in a more civilized manner next time!
