Barth: Four driving bans in four hours

Four driving bans in four hours

On Thursday evening (16.01.2025), there were four incidents in the area of the Barth police station, where the accused or affected individuals were driving a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or narcotics. A 61-year-old German man drove into the parking lot of a discount store around 6:00 PM.

Among others, an employee of the store noticed that the man was apparently intoxicated - he promptly alerted the Barth police station. The officers immediately dispatched were then able to identify the driver in oncoming traffic. An alcohol test carried out on him then showed a value of just over 2 per mille. A blood sample was taken by a doctor, and his driver's license was confiscated. In this context, the driving license authority was informed, and he was prohibited from continuing his journey.

Furthermore, a 30-year-old German man initially came to the Barth police station on foot around 7:15 PM. After a police relevance was ruled out, the 30-year-old left the police station. It was then noticed that the person got into a car at the end of the street. A subsequent check revealed a breath alcohol level of 0.34 per mille in him. The problem was that the driver had only had a driver's license since the end of last year and is therefore still in the probationary period. A measurement using a legally valid method showed a value of 0.2 per mille, resulting in a regulatory offense procedure according to § 24c StVG. He is likely facing a fine of 250 euros, one point, and an extension of his probationary period.

A 26-year-old Polish woman was also subjected to a general traffic check. Here, an alcohol test showed a value of 0.91 per mille. The lady caught the officers' attention shortly before 11:00 PM in traffic. She was then taken to the Barth police station for a legally valid measurement. She will have to answer in the context of a regulatory offense procedure in the future, she is most likely facing a fine of 500 euros, two points, and a one-month driving ban in Germany.

Around 11:30 PM, a 36-year-old Latvian man appeared at the station to pick up his Polish acquaintance from the precinct. Since the man arrived in a motor vehicle and the officers on site noticed physical abnormalities, a drug preliminary test was to bring certainty. This showed a positive result for cocaine. A blood sample was then taken from him at the Ribnitz-Damgarten hospital.
