Fellbach: Drunk driver stopped with over 2 per mille!
On Monday evening, June 16, 2025, the police in Fellbach checked a driver on Schorndorfer Straße around 6:30 p.m. The reason for this check was the unsafe driving style of the woman, who was driving an Audi. During the check, the police detected a clear odor of alcohol, which led to a breath alcohol test. The test showed a level of over two per mille, so the officers took a blood sample and confiscated the driver's license. The aim of these measures was to ensure road safety and minimize alcohol-related risks. ZVW reports that ....
Such a high blood alcohol level has serious legal consequences. If the alcohol test falls above 1.6 per mille, not only is the driving license revoked in Germany, but a procedure is also initiated to order a medical-psychological examination (MPU). This measure usually involves a lot of emotional and financial effort for those affected. [Anwalt.de explains the legal consequences in detail].
Consequences and measures for drunk driving
The legal consequences of driving under the influence of alcohol are extensive. If the blood alcohol level is over 1.6 per mille, the penalty is not only the revocation of your driving license, but also a possible fine or even a prison sentence. In addition, this usually results in points in Flensburg, which encourages driving bans and the MPU arrangement. In principle, the legal consequences can be categorized as follows:
- 0,5 – 1,09 Promille: 500 Euro Bußgeld, 2 Punkte, 1 Monat Fahrverbot für Ersttäter.
- 1,1 – 1,59 Promille: Geldstrafe/Freiheitsstrafe bis zu einem Jahr, Entziehung der Fahrerlaubnis, 3 Punkte in Flensburg.
- Ab 1,6 Promille: Zugehörige Geldstrafe/Freiheitsstrafe, Entziehung der Fahrerlaubnis, 3 Punkte in Flensburg und MPU nach Ablauf der Sperrfrist.
MPU often requires abstinence from alcohol for a period of time. This can vary depending on the individual case and the traffic psychologist treating it, although evidence of abstinence often has to be provided. A high blood alcohol level like that of the affected woman in Fellbach usually leads to the loss of the driver's license and can take several months to years.
Overall, this incident shows how seriously the German traffic authorities take drunk driving and the far-reaching consequences that can arise from such an offense. It is therefore advisable for all road users to use alcohol responsibly and, if necessary, to choose alternative transport options in order to protect themselves and others on the road.
