Anyone who drives drunk should rightly face the full force of the criminal catalog. However, alcohol abuse offenders report having to undergo psychological testing ‘down to their underwear’ to get their driver’s license back. Krone+ shows which, sometimes outdated, methods are used in the VPU (traffic psychological research).
The “Krone” previously reported on hair tests prescribed by the authorities, which have their pitfalls. The hair stores any alcohol or drug use for a long time, the consequences can be lifelong problems with your driver’s license: Read more about this here. From a measured value of 1.6 per mille, the alcohol driver falls into the merciless wheels of the law:
- Fine between 1600 and 5900 euros
- Driver’s license suspended for at least six months
- State-dependent hair or urine tests
- Appointment with the doctor
- Retraining
- Traffic psychological explanation – and it has it all (see below).
