Drunk and with an open warrant on an e-scooter - Drunk e-scooter rider with 2.33 per mille stopped by police in Germany
A 37-year-old electric scooter rider was stopped by police in Stelle-Wittenwurth after drawing attention for erratic behaviour late at night. Officers found the individual had a blood alcohol level of 2.33 per mille—far above the legal zoom limit. The incident led to further legal complications for the rider. The situation began when police noticed the rider swerving unpredictably on the road. As officers attempted to pull the scooter over, the individual nearly lost balance while trying to avoid the patrol car. During the check, authorities discovered an outstanding arrest warrant linked to an unpaid fine from a previous drunk driving offence. The rider was unable to provide a valid reason for the unpaid penalty. To resolve the matter, the fine was settled immediately on the spot. Following standard procedures, the rider was processed and later released. However, new charges for driving under the influence have now been filed against them. The case highlights the risks of riding electric scooters under the influence, as the rider now faces fresh legal consequences. Police confirmed the individual’s identity remains undisclosed in official reports. The incident serves as a reminder of the strict enforcement of traffic laws, even for e-scooter users.
