Mercedes driver aged 69: drunk driving uncovered in Anklam!
An unusual incident occurred on Tuesday afternoon in Anklam, more precisely in Silostrasse. On June 12, 2025, at around 6:15 p.m., an attentive witness observed a 69-year-old Mercedes driver crash into a shopping cart and then stagger heavily as he walked into a store. This observation led to the police being called and a breath alcohol test ensued, which revealed an alarming 1.26 per mille. Officers responded immediately and secured both the drunk driver's driver's license and vehicle keys. Fortunately, no property damage was caused during the incident. News.de reports.
The incident adds to the worrying drunk driving statistics that continue to make headlines. Drunk driving, regulated by Section 316 of the Criminal Code, can be punishable from a level of 0.3 per mille, especially if signs of failure can be observed. From 1.1 per mille you are considered completely unfit to drive. For cyclists this limit is even 1.6 per mille. The sanctions that can follow such offenses are significant: from fines that vary depending on income to prison sentences and an entry in the criminal record if the penalty is more than 90 daily rates. This not only affects the loss of your driving license, but also points in Flensburg and the potential visit to a medical-psychological examination (MPU). Lawyer.de explains.
Legal consequences and preventive measures
The law clearly states that drunk driving not only has legal consequences, but can also have serious social and professional consequences. Anyone who does their job on the roads often has to contend with recourse claims from their insurance company if they drive drunk and, last but not least, damages trust in their social environment. That's why it's essential to take preventive measures such as using public transport or arranging a sober driver among friends. Lawyerblog24 refers also on the importance of information events to raise awareness.
Anklam shows once again how important attention is in road traffic. Police are investigating drunk driving and hope this incident can serve as a signal to others to use alcohol more responsibly. In a society that aims to become increasingly safer, abstaining from alcohol or drugs before driving is a step in the right direction. After all, it is not only a legal obligation, but also a question of responsibility towards yourself and other road users.
