It will happen that you or someone in your family is hit by a person who is driving with alcohol. Alcohol, drugs and certain medicines are not compatible with traffic. Do we actually know what the official rules are regarding the amount of alcohol and driving in traffic or are we just doing something? We all know it, we are having a party somewhere or a social gathering and the drinks are flowing freely, before you know it you have already had a lot of drinks.

Instead of taking the car, you take the bicycle or scooter and drive it home. We may think that we are allowed to ride a bicycle or scooter under the influence of alcohol, but that is absolutely not the case. It is prohibited to drive a vehicle, including a bicycle or moped, under the influence of alcohol, drugs and certain medicines. Driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs or certain medications is a crime. The penalties for drink-driving can range from a fine, driving ban, disqualification from driving and even imprisonment. In addition, you can also receive an educational measure or a suitability test can be imposed. You always get a criminal record for drunk driving.
