Why It Matters
Police checked two vehicle drivers in Thuringia at the weekend after witnesses observed them buying alcohol at gas stations.
Drunk driving to buy alcohol at the gas station - because of this bad idea, two Thuringians lost their driving licenses at the weekend.
On Sunday morning around 4:10 a.m., a witness observed a 42-year-old driver buying alcohol at a gas station in Gotha and then driving away in a long line, the police said. Police stopped the car. A check showed a breath alcohol level of 1.7 per mille.
Hours later, a 37-year-old was checked in Erfurt. The police had received a tip that he was apparently drunk and had bought supplies “in the form of additional alcoholic beverages” at a gas station in the Dittelstedt district. He was also checked - and the breath alcohol test showed a value of 3.1 per mille, as it was said.
Open Questions
- Have criminal proceedings been initiated against the two drivers?
- Have those affected had previous traffic violations?
