Shocking alcohol controls: Several drivers stopped in Bad Salzdetfurth!
Last weekend, from June 13th to 14th, 2025, the Bad Salzdetfurth Police Department carried out several traffic controls in its region. The measure is intended to increase road safety and arrest drivers who were driving while drinking. There were some worrying abnormalities in this context.
As news.de reports, for example, a 52-year-old cyclist from Bad Salzdetfurth was stopped in Heinde on Friday evening. His breath alcohol test showed an alarming level of 2.19 per mille. This led to a blood sample being taken to preserve evidence, which is required by law in such cases.
Violations on Saturday
Saturday brought several traffic offenders to the scene. At 2:40 a.m., a 23-year-old driver from Hildesheim was checked on Soltmannstrasse. Before that he had apparently driven in serpentine lines. The breath alcohol test carried out showed 0.98 per mille - a serious value that, at this level, could cost you a driver's license. There were also signs of previous cannabis use, which could result in additional legal consequences.
At 9 p.m., an 18-year-old driver from Lamspringe was stopped on state road 489 on a moped without a license. Here too, complications followed: further driving was prohibited and criminal proceedings were initiated for driving without a license.
Legal situation and consequences
What many people don't know: Drunk driving is not only dangerous, but also extremely legally risky. According to the regulations in Germany, different alcohol limits apply. For novice drivers in their probationary period and drivers under 21, the limit is 0.0 per mille, while from 0.5 per mille there is a risk of a fine of 500 euros and two points in Flensburg - not to mention further measures that can take effect from 1.1 per mille. There is a risk of fines or even imprisonment, as well as the revocation of your driving license for at least six months, as adac.de and anwalt.de clearly state execute.
In addition, refusing a breath test usually results in a blood sample being taken to accurately determine the blood alcohol concentration. The legal consequences can be serious, especially if an accident occurs - not only is your driver's license at risk, but possible claims for damages from the insurance company are also at stake.
Options for action
Road safety should not be taken lightly. Promoting them is the responsibility of all of us. Impulse control, smart decisions and, if necessary, alternative transport routes can help to avoid not only fines and the loss of a driver's license, but above all more serious accidents.
