Intoxicated Motorists Behind the Wheel
In a series of events over the past few days, the Rhein-Erft District Police have reported three incidents involving suspected drunk drivers. The details of these incidents were transmitted by the Rhein-Erft District Police through news aktuell.
On Monday afternoon, a 71-year-old driver of a Nissan was stopped in Hürth-Efferen. His alcohol test reading was just under 1.00g/l, which is above the legal limit in Germany. In a separate incident on Tuesday at 1:40 AM, a 55-year-old driver of a Porsche was stopped in Kerpen-Sindorf for driving erratically and on the wrong side of the road. The driver showed signs of intoxication, including impaired balance, delayed pupil reaction, slurred speech, and a strong alcohol odor. A blood test was ordered for the 55-year-old driver, and his driver's license was confiscated.
In another incident on Tuesday night, a driver (35) of a Fiat was stopped in Bergheim, suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol. His alcohol test reading was approximately 2.70g/l, significantly above the legal limit.
In all three cases, the drivers were prohibited from continuing their journey, and reports were filed. The traffic division officers have initiated investigations in the case of the 55-year-old driver in Kerpen-Sindorf. The search results do not provide the name of the police officer who investigated the case of the 71-year-old driver in Hürth.
