Two men in Seesen: drunk driving and e-scooter violation revealed!
In Seesen, a town in the Goslar district, two men caused a stir on June 13, 2025 when they were stopped by the police for driving while drunk. At 3:10 p.m., a 54-year-old driver noticed several officers when they smelled alcohol. A breath alcohol test revealed a shocking result of 1.66 per mille, leading to his driving license being seized and a blood sample being taken.
Shortly afterwards, at 6:00 p.m., a 41-year-old e-scooter driver was checked. It stood out because of its black insurance license plate, although only green plates are currently valid. Evidence of drug and medication use was also found in him, which ultimately led to a blood test being ordered. Both men are now facing criminal charges and proceedings are ongoing for violating the Compulsory Insurance Act.
Legal framework
The legal basis for assessing drunk driving is clearly regulated. In Germany, e-scooters are considered motor vehicles according to the Small Electric Vehicle Ordinance (eKFV), and they can reach a maximum speed of up to 20 km/h. For e-scooter drivers, there is a blood alcohol limit of 1.1‰ for absolute inability to drive, which means that these drivers are classified in the same legal category as car drivers. From a value of 0.5‰ there is a risk of fines and a driving ban. An analysis of the legal framework shows that the consequences for e-scooter drivers are identical to those for car drivers.
It is particularly important for e-scooter drivers to be aware of the legal requirements. The intoxicating consumption of alcoholic beverages quickly becomes fatal. From just 0.3 ‰ to 1.1 ‰, relative inability to drive can be proven, which is accompanied by driving errors or failures. Above 1.1 ‰ there is always absolute inability to drive, which is all the more serious when you consider that a medical-psychological examination (MPU) can be ordered even if your alcohol level is 1.6 per mille or more. This makes it clear why experts in traffic law strongly recommend professional advice in such cases.
Conclusion
The incidents in Seesen once again make it clear that the responsible use of alcohol and driving substances is essential. Both the car driver and the e-scooter driver now have to live with the legal consequences of their decisions. It remains to be hoped that such events will become fewer in the future and vigilant behavior in public will become the norm.
For everyone who is in this situation and feels unsafe, all that remains to say is: trust your gut feeling and, if in doubt, don't be afraid to use a taxi or public transport!
