About two per mille

Drunk driver was “stopped by street lamp”

Another unteachable man! A 55-year-old man's Christmas party ended at a street lamp, with an expensive dent in his car and a hefty police report. According to the police in neighboring Berchtesgaden, witnesses observed the alcohol-related accident.

The Christmas party of a 55-year-old man from Berchtesgaden ended on Sunday evening at a street lamp in Bischofswiesen. The police in Berchtesgaden reported verbatim: "After drinking a lot of alcohol, the 55-year-old thought he could still drive home in his car. However, shortly after setting off, he was stopped by a street lamp, which left a clear imprint on his hood." The traffic accident was observed by two independent witnesses who informed the police and waited with the driver for the patrol.

The German officers went on to write: "A breath alcohol test at the scene indicated an alcohol level of around two per mille. The car was damaged to the tune of around 5,000 euros and the street lamp was bent over, causing damage of around 500 euros." The driver is facing criminal proceedings and his driver's license was confiscated.
