Drunk driving: Woman causes chaos in Blaufelden!

A serious incident occurred in Blaufelden late on Friday evening, June 7, 2025, when a 38-year-old woman was drunk and caused a traffic accident with her Toyota. At around 11:10 p.m. she drove over a traffic island on Langenburger Strasse and damaged several traffic signs. Immediately after the incident, she continued her journey until her vehicle stopped shortly after Wittenweiler due to the significant damage.

The material damage caused by this accident amounts to several thousand euros. The road maintenance department had to go out to clean the road in order to eliminate the dangers caused by the incident. The incident had legal consequences for the woman affected because her breath alcohol level was over 2 per mille.

Legal consequences

Due to the high alcohol content in her blood, a blood sample was ordered and her driver's license was confiscated. In Germany, such incidents with a blood alcohol concentration of over 1.1‰ can be viewed as absolute inability to drive, which usually leads to a prison sentence or a fine. The incident in Blaufelden illustrates the strict measures that apply to alcohol-related offenses while driving. Legal consequences can already be threatened with a breath alcohol level of 0.3 ‰, as bussgeldkatalog.de reports.

The financial penalties for drunk driving are significant and range from high fines to points in Flensburg and driving bans. For example, with an alcohol level between 0.5 and 1.09 ‰, fines of up to 1,500 euros and driving bans of up to three months can be expected. In the case of the 38-year-old woman, whose blood alcohol level was over 2 per mille, the punishment could be even more severe.
