Planned square
Every 35th driver in Advent traffic was “dense”
"Good evening. Have you been drinking alcohol?" - Police officers throughout Upper Austria asked this question thousands of times on Saturday night during the traditional Advent traffic squares. It is unclear how often they were lied to. What is certain is that one in 35 of the drivers asked to take the test was "tight".
It's like the Amen in church and a pre-Christmas police tradition: planned squares during Advent. Mainly at the weekend, but also during the week as Christmas approaches. Keyword: Christmas parties.
Conspicuously many with a high blood alcohol level
This time, it was the night of Saturday, December 7, when the police were deployed nationwide to carry out spot checks. A total of 2333 stopped drivers had to blow into the pre-tester. 77 of them had suspiciously high levels and were asked to use the breathalyzer and 54 were over the permitted 0.5 per mille limit. It was striking that the majority, namely 34, were not "unlucky" because they had "one too many eighths" - they were clearly over the limit, namely over the 0.8 per mille limit.
A dozen drug drivers
In addition to the drunk drivers, a dozen drivers were also caught who were under the influence of narcotics. That makes a total of 66 impaired drivers. Translated and extrapolated: Every 35th driver was intoxicated on the road that night.
260 other offenses
The officers also looked for expired stickers or other offenses and issued an additional 241 reports and collected 219 organ mandates.
