As we know, New Year’s Eve is a critical time on the road. Indeed, and despite numerous awareness campaigns, many motorists persist in taking to the road after partying and sometimes consuming large quantities of alcohol. As a result, there were many accidents during that night, as well as arrests. Many motorists are in fact stopped by the police, who are particularly numerous on the side of the roads in order to practice blood alcohol checks. And sometimes the fishing turns out to be fruitful, like in the story we are about to tell you.

In Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, 18.5% of fatal accidents are due to excessive alcohol intake. These deaths could be avoided if all drivers strictly adhered to the legal blood alcohol limit while driving.pic.twitter.com/pdQWznbtjG

Simple control…

This takes place in Taillan-Médoc, in Gironde, on the evening of 31 december eve. As every year, the police are posted on the side of the road to monitor the behavior of motorists and carry out checks. When they see a car and decide to stop it. They had done well, because the driver had consumed large quantities of alcohol, namely two glasses of wine and no less than eight whiskeys. Suffice to say that he greatly exceeded the legal limits, at only two glasses. But there is another problem: the motorist does not have the driver’s licensewhich he lost in 2018 and never played again.

…In jail

If his lawyer explained that he was just enrolled in a driving school in order to get his precious sesame again, that was not enough to convince the judge. The driver was indeed sentenced to six months in prison, plus nine months from a previous sentence. About him, the prosecutor also said that “ this man is a traffic offender, a potential criminal who plays Russian roulette with other road users and doesn’t give a damn about court decisions. This is his 11th procedure for driving without a license. »
