Truck Driver with 3.25 Blood Alcohol Level Stopped - Drunk driver in Germany caught with 3.25 per mille blood alcohol

A heavily intoxicated driver was stopped by police in Biederitz after witnesses reported erratic swerving. Officers measured his blood alcohol level at 3.25 per mille—far above the legal limit. The man now faces criminal charges for drunk driving.

The incident began when the driver was seen veering dangerously through Biederitz. Police pulled him over and conducted a breath test, revealing a blood alcohol concentration of 3.25 per mille. Under German law, any level above 1.1 per mille is classified as a criminal offence due to 'absolute impairment'.

An ambulance took the man to hospital, as readings above 3.0 per mille indicate severe acute alcohol poisoning—a potentially life-threatening condition. Inside his vehicle, officers discovered multiple bottles of spirits. His car keys and driver's licence were confiscated on the spot. No injuries were reported during the incident. The legal blood alcohol limit for driving in Germany is 0.5 per mille, meaning the driver exceeded it by more than six times.

The man will now face legal proceedings for drunk driving. His case highlights the extreme risks of driving with such high alcohol levels. Authorities have not released further details about his current condition or prior offences.
