Drunk driver rams ten cars in Wolfsburg – huge damage!
On Monday evening there was a spectacular incident in Wolfsburg that caused excitement among residents. An 18-year-old driver drove in a state that was anything but responsible: with an alcohol level of 2.92 per mille, he caused a massive accident in which a total of ten parked cars were damaged. The young man was driving his VW Golf over a distance of 170 meters and did not stop in front of the vehicles, but continued his journey without braking. Only when alert residents informed the police could the speeder be stopped. The total damage is estimated at around 55,000 euros, and his VW Golf was made available for towing, as reported by ndr.de.
What a critical moment! The incident highlights the dangers of immature driving skills combined with alcohol. A similar incident recently occurred near Wolfsburg: a 52-year-old driver lost control of his car on a slippery winter road and slid down a slope. Although he was uninjured, police found three empty beer bottles in his vehicle. The driver was not insured, and criminal proceedings for drunk driving and a violation of the compulsory insurance law promptly followed, as zeit.de reports.
The effects of drinking and driving
Drinking and driving - that's a combination that never works. This isn't just a boring cliché; reality speaks for itself. Police figures show that alcohol-related traffic accidents remain a serious problem. The incidents in Wolfsburg make it clear how quickly an exuberant atmosphere can turn into a disaster.
Nevertheless, the 18-year-old remains remembered as a stand-up man in the eyes of the public - another example of the carefree nature of youth, even if in this case this could have tragic consequences. The police have started an investigation and it is clear: such irresponsible actions must have consequences.
Educating the public about the dangers of driving under the influence remains one of the most important tasks to prevent future dramas. Every lesson counts, and perhaps one or the other will rethink before one sip too much comes into play.
