Shocking alcohol controls: several drivers stopped in Bad Salzdetfurth!

Bad Salzdetfurth, Deutschland - Last weekend, from June 13th to 14th, 2025, the police commissioner Bad Salzdetfurth carried out several traffic controls in its region. The measure is intended to increase traffic safety and arrest the drivers who were traveling with alcohol at the wheel. In this context there were some worrying abnormalities.

such as [news.de] (https://www.news.de/lokales/85869049/polizeimessungen-aktuell-aus-hildesheim-am-15-06-2025- traffic control, for example, a 52-year-old bicycle driver from Bad Salzdetfurth was stopped in Heinde. His breath alcohol test resulted in an alarming value of 2.19 per thousand. This led to a blood sample for evidence, which is legally prescribed 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 in Soltmannstrasse. Before that, he had apparently driven in snake lines. The breath alcohol test performed resulted in 0.98 per thousand - a serious value that can cost the driver's license in this concentration. There were also signs of previous cannabis use, which could result in additional legal consequences.

At 9:00 p.m., an 18-year-old driver from Lamspringe was stopped on a small peak bike without a license on the Landesstraße 489. Complications also followed here: the onward journey was prohibited and criminal proceedings were initiated for driving without driving license.

legal situation and consequences

What many do not know: alcohol at the wheel is not only dangerous, but also legally extremely risky. According to the regulations in Germany, different alcohol boundaries apply. For beginners in the trial period and the driver under the age of 21, the border is 0.0 per thousand, while from 0.5 per thousand there is already a fine of 500 euros and two points in Flensburg - not to mention further measures that can apply from 1.1 per thousand. Here there is a risk of money or even prison terms, as well as the withdrawal of the driver's license for at least six months, such as adac.de and and [Anwalt.de] (https://www.ananwalt.de/rechtstipps/Al alcohol-am-steuer-was-ueber-die-rechtslage-in-deutschland-wissen-226704.html) execute.

In addition, the refusal of a breath test usually leads to a blood sample that is necessary to precisely determine the blood alcohol concentration. The legal consequences can be serious, especially if there is an accident - not only the driver's license is endangered, but also possible claims for damages on the part of the insurance.

action options

traffic safety should not be taken lightly. Their promotion is our responsibility. Impulse control, clever decisions and, if necessary, alternative transport routes can help not only fines and loss of driving license, but above all to avoid worse accidents.
