E-scooter operator encountered an accident, averaging approximately 2.34 collisions per mile travel.

A 20-year-old man from the Dithmarschen district found himself in trouble with the law after riding an E-scooter under the influence of alcohol in Itzehoe, Germany. The incident, which took place on Bahnhofstraße, was reported by the Police Directorate Itzehoe via news aktuell.

According to the police report, the man fell off his E-scooter at 06:30 in the morning, sustaining minor injuries. Officers conducting the investigation noticed an alcohol smell and subsequently administered a breathalyzer test, which revealed a blood alcohol level of 2.34 per mille. This level is considered a criminal offense.

E-scooters are legally considered motor vehicles, and as such, they are subject to the same alcohol limits as cars and motorcycles. In this case, the man's high blood alcohol level could lead to criminal consequences, including a driving ban or the revocation of his driver's license.

The police department involved in the investigation is the Police Directorate Itzehoe, and inquiries can be directed to them. It's worth noting that using E-scooters after consuming alcohol is strongly advised against.

The man had already taken out a new liability insurance, but the lack of a valid insurance plate on the E-scooter still constitutes an administrative offense, which could result in a fine.

This is not the first time such an incident has occurred. Yesterday morning, a 26-year-old person had an accident with an e-scooter under the influence of alcohol on Bahnhofstraße in Itzehoe. According to the police report, this was the first time that the driver was proven to be intoxicated.

It's important to remember that driving any vehicle, including E-scooters, while under the influence of alcohol can have serious consequences. The Police Directorate Itzehoe's Public Affairs Department provides the following contact details for anyone seeking further information:
