Stopped with 3.53% BAC on a Bicycle - Man Arrested for Cycling Under the Influence in Demmin
A 43-year-old man was arrested in Demmin, Mecklenburg Lake District, for cycling under the influence. Police pulled him over due to his erratic riding and detected a high blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 3.53%.
The man, whose name has not been disclosed due to privacy reasons, was required to provide a blood sample. During the stop, officers noticed the strong smell of alcohol on his breath. He will now face charges for driving under the influence, despite the fact that he was riding a bicycle. This incident serves as a reminder that riding a bike while intoxicated is not only dangerous but also illegal.
The man's BAC of 3.53% is significantly higher than the legal limit for driving a car in Germany, which is 0.08%. This case underscores the importance of responsible behaviour while using any form of transportation, including bicycles.
