Early in the morning, a motorist driving a red German sedan attracted the attention of the motorized platoon of the Saint Gendarmerie in Charente-Maritime. He was quickly detained by the gendarmes for verification: the driver said that he had spent the night in a club and felt able to go home.

The soldiers subject him to a blood alcohol testwhich turned out to be positive: on the breathalyzer he showed a alcohol level 0.39 mg per liter of air ended This result exceeds the norm of 0.25 mg of alcohol per liter of exhaled air, above which it is forbidden to drive a car.

Driving a car while intoxicated

Fortunately, the measured rate is lower than the 0.40 mg of alcohol per liter of exhaled air, above which the offense becomes a misdemeanor. So license revocation is avoided, but it still gets a 135 euro fineand a Withdrawal of 6 points on his driver’s license.

In addition, this unscrupulous driver cannot get back on the road: then the police are convinced that the passenger of the vehicle is able to drive, and the two accomplices continue on their way.

12 license points were removed in one day

Literally an hour later, another police patrol outfit from Saint noticed the suspicious behavior of the driver of a red German sedan: again intercepted a second timethe driver took the wheel, the passenger was absent this time and visibly returned home!

Tested again, our drunk driver now shows a breathalyzer reading of 0.38 mg of alcohol per liter of exhaled air: he is verbalized again with the same penalty as an hour earlier. In the open morning 12 points will be deducted his driver’s license, which was therefore suspended, and his car immobilized on the spot!

A 70-year-old driver learns after 44 years that she finally did not have a license. A completely absurd situation. 😅 https://t.co/USK00aFk0D
