Drunk driver crashes into Mercedes in parking lot – 38,500 euros in damage!
A dangerous incident occurred on Monday evening in a supermarket parking lot in Teterow, Rostock district. A 53-year-old driver not only endangered herself but also others through rash actions. According to a report by NDR The woman was about to pull out of the parking space when she raced across the parking lot at full speed. Her vehicle crashed into a parked Mercedes, which was then pushed against a street sign. The car only came to a stop at a street lamp.
Passers-by who immediately rushed to help were ignored and turned away by the driver. It was obvious that the 53-year-old wanted to drive off again, but witnesses were able to stop her. A breath alcohol test showed a worrying level of 1.58 per mille.
Negligence and high damages
The incident left a trail of devastation. The estimated material damage is around 38,500 euros. The investigation into the drunken driver is already underway as there are indications that she may have been driving without a valid driver's license.
The passenger, a 60-year-old man, was also heavily intoxicated but was uninjured. During the police operation, the driver lost consciousness, which is why emergency services were called to take care of her. Such incidents are extremely dangerous not only for the people involved, but also for other road users.
Drinking and driving: The alcohol limits
A look at the legal framework shows that driving under the influence of alcohol is not only risky, but also has serious consequences. The alcohol limits in Germany are clearly defined. For novice drivers during their probationary period, the absolute alcohol ban is 0.0 per mille, while from 0.3 per mille, relative inability to drive can occur. From a level of 1.1 per mille, driving is in any case punishable, and from 1.6 per mille, a medical-psychological examination must be expected ADAC explained.
If someone drives with over 0.5 per mille and causes an accident, this can not only lead to a fine and points in Flensburg, but can also allow the insurance company to claim recourse of up to 5,000 euros. A risk that you definitely shouldn't take!
It remains to be seen how the investigation against the 53-year-old will continue and what legal consequences she will have to expect due to her irresponsible actions. Such incidents are a sad reminder that drunk driving always exacts a heavy price.
