During the subsequent check of the 42-year-old, clear signs of impairment were observed. A breathalyzer test confirmed the suspicion: The woman had a blood alcohol level of 1.86 per mille.
The intoxicated woman was prohibited from continuing her journey. Since the e-scooter she was riding appeared to be a higher-powered model, a speed test was also conducted. This revealed that the scooter could reach a speed of 40 km/h. Furthermore, several defects were found on the vehicle in violation of the Motor Vehicle Act (KFG) and the Road Traffic Regulations (StVO).
Refused Drug Test
Due to additional symptoms suggesting possible impairment from drugs, the 42-year-old was asked to undergo a clinical examination, which she refused.
After the traffic stop concluded, the rider was informed of various charges against her. However, shortly thereafter, the woman was caught again riding her e-scooter. The police officers had to stop her a second time. She faces multiple charges.
