An incident involving a drunk bus driver caused a stir in Ludwigslust. On Monday evening, around 6:30 p.m., an attentive driver noticed a bus that was driving in a serpentine line and crossing the middle of the road several times. The concerned witness immediately alerted the police, who then stopped the 44-year-old driver from Poland on Bahnhofstrasse.

A breath alcohol test revealed an alarming 1.46 blood alcohol level for the driver. The police immediately seized the vehicle keys and took him to take a blood sample.

Strict rules for bus drivers
In Germany, bus drivers have particularly strict rules regarding alcohol consumption. According to these rules, bus drivers must adhere to an absolute 0 alcohol limit during their service. If you exceed the limit, you not only face high fines of up to 10,000 euros, but also the loss of your driving license and up to seven points in Flensburg. This results from paragraph 8 of the BOKraft (Ordinance on the operation of motor vehicle companies in passenger transport), which explicitly prohibits drinking alcohol while on duty, as shown on bussgeld-info.de is to be read.
Interestingly, this regulation also applies to coach drivers and taxi drivers. In accordance with general traffic regulations, they are only subject to a 0.5 alcohol limit outside of work hours. Anyone who starts work under the influence of alcohol can also be required to undergo a medical-psychological examination (MPU). This shows how seriously the consequences for such violations are taken.
Attentive citizens on duty

The driver's quick action meant that something worse could be prevented and the planned journey could be completed safely. In times when road safety is a top priority, such operations are not only important, but also a sign of the solidarity of fellow citizens.
We hope that this incident will lead to increased public awareness and also make other public transport companies aware of the critical importance of ensuring the safety of their passengers. The case remains exciting and we will closely monitor further developments in the matter.
