In the past week, several incidents of drunk driving have been reported in the city of Ingolstadt, Germany.
On Sunday morning, a 31-year-old e-scooter driver was taken to the station for a blood test after refusing a voluntary breathalyzer test. The test results later revealed that his reading was over 2.5 per mille, leading to charges of driving under the influence and violating the compulsory insurance law.
A similar incident occurred overnight from Saturday to Sunday, involving a 27-year-old Romanian woman. She was detected driving under the influence and was taken to the Ingolstadt Police Station for a blood test. Her nationality was identified as Romanian, and she now faces charges of driving under the influence in Ingolstadt.
