Erratic driving leads to traffic stop
A patrol unit of the Jena police noticed the vehicle on Lutherstraße due to its erratic driving. The officers subsequently decided to subject the driver to a traffic stop. A breath alcohol test conducted on-site quickly provided the reason for the unsafe driving: the device showed a value of 1.8 per mille.
Significant dangers averted
A breath alcohol level of this magnitude poses a significant danger to all road users, as reaction time and coordination are extremely impaired. To prevent further risks, the man was prohibited from continuing his journey with immediate effect. This was followed by a blood draw for evidence preservation at the hospital and the initiation of corresponding criminal proceedings.
