Buzzed and Unbuckled - Man Sustains Serious Injuries in Accident
Individual under the influence, lacking seatbelt safety - severe injuries sustained in collision - Man sustains severe injuries in crash while intoxicated and unbuckled
Listen up, pal: Today, we're talking about a 43-year-old fella who found himself in a pickle in the district of Saxon Switzerland - Osterzgebirge. Here's the scoop: This guy was cruising between Pirna districts, Graupa and Birkwitz, on a Saturday night, and ended up taking an unexpected detour into a ditch. Sounds fun, right? Yeah, not so much for the driver.
Reports from the police claim he lost control of his car in a sharp curve, and the reason? The driver was drunk as a skunk with a blood alcohol level over 2.5 (that's 2.5 times the legal limit in Germany, by the way). But here's the kicker: he wasn't wearing a seatbelt. So, not only was he hammered, but he was also careless enough to risk his life by not buckling up.
He ended up getting a hospital stay to deal with his injuries, and the cops confiscated his driver's license and towed his car. The repair bill came out to around 2,000 euros. Lesson learned, huh?
- Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
- Legal Limit: The BAC limit in Germany is 0.05%. Any higher, and you're looking at penalties.
- Penalties: Drive hammered, face fines, license suspension, and even jail time for severe cases. Don't be a moron.
- Seatbelt Usage
- Mandatory Use: Wearing a seatbelt is mandatory for drivers and passengers in Germany. Don't be a dummy, buckle up.
- Penalties for Non-Compliance: Don't wear a seatbelt? Pay the price with a fine and potential points on your driver's license.
