Alcohol at the wheel: Drunk family man arrested in Bogenhausen!

Alcohol at the wheel: Drunk family man arrested in Bogenhausen!

In the early morning of June 9, 2025, the police in the Bogenhausen district became aware of an unsafe Audi. The officials observed how the driver suddenly changed lanes and almost collided with the police vehicle. Instead of stopping, the 31-year-old driver from Baden-Württemberg fled at excessive speed, disregarded a red light three times and ignored the pending signals of the police patrol. Finally, the man was temporarily arrested, but sat down physically and smelled strongly of alcohol. The police then ordered a blood sample and confiscated his driver's license. The driver's six -year -old son was sitting in the passenger seat and was taken to the police inspection, where he was later picked up by relatives. This dangerous situation again shows how alcohol at the wheel is at the lives of many people. According to [ADAC] (https://www.adac.de/verwecht/verkehrsemrksungs-deutschland/promillerenze-auto/), alcohol at the wheel is not only a threat to other road users, but can also have serious legal consequences for the drivers.

The alcohol boundaries in Germany are clearly defined. For example, a strict 0.0 promile ban applies to beginners and people under the age of 21. From 0.3 per thousand the relative inability to drive can be suspected, and from 0.5 per thousand it is considered an administrative offense. The journey is punishable from a value of 1.1 per thousand, which in this case could have very serious consequences for the Audi driver. It should also be noted that the vehicle liability insurance pays for third parties, but can reclaim up to 5000 euros in the event of alcohol abuse-a fact that is particularly important in the current situation.

further traffic accidents and offenses

In the last few days there have been further abnormalities in road traffic in Munich. On June 8, a 19-year-old driver, who was under the influence of cannabis, was caught during a traffic control. He was also asked to take blood and his vehicle key secured. Interestingly, he continued his journey on June 10th, again under the influence of drugs before it was stopped again.

Another incident occurred on June 10 when a cyclist fell in Sendling and seriously injured himself while he was on the road without a protective helmet. The police therefore recommend wearing a bicycle helmet to minimize the risk of serious injuries.

burglaries and fraud

But also apart from road traffic, the crime in Munich does not stop. There have been numerous burglaries in restaurants in the urban area since spring 2024, with a 45-year-old man considered to be suspected and is already in custody. The deeds often seemed to have been committed during opening hours, possibly a brave but risky approach.

In Pasing, a 68-year-old victim of a call center fraud was a fraudster in which a fraudster spent out as a police officer and asked for a high deposit. A 16-year-old was arrested when this deposit was picked up. In Ramersdorf, a similar call from someone who spent a hospital employee received a similar call. While she handed money to an unknown perpetrator, she later filed a complaint. Such fraud is unfortunately a common phenomenon in the region.

These incidents remind us of how important it is to be careful and to take both the safety in road traffic and protection against crime seriously. How often does it still have to be mentioned that alcohol and drugs have no business in road traffic? Security measures can save lives and are therefore essential.
