In Limeira, São Paulo, a man was arrested for driving under the influence after being stopped by local police for speeding with too many passengers in his car. The incident occurred early on Thursday, prompted by the patrol's observance of the vehicle's erratic speed and overcrowding, with six people inside. Upon inspection, officers noted visible signs of intoxication and discovered alcoholic beverages within the car.

The breathalyzer test administered revealed a blood alcohol level of 1.04 mg/L, far exceeding the legal driving limit set by Brazilian law, which is 0.34 mg/L. This arrest highlights ongoing concerns about road safety and the laws regulating alcohol consumption for drivers. The enforcement of these measures is crucial in preventing accidents and promoting responsible driving behavior within the community.

According to the Brazilian Traffic Code, driving with such a high concentration of alcohol makes a driver subject to penalties that may include fines, imprisonment, and suspension of the driving license. Incidents like this serve as a reminder of the legal and social responsibilities of drivers and the need for strong law enforcement to combat driving under the influence effectively.
