Recent traffic incidents in Klaipeda County have seen multiple drivers caught for drunk driving, with alcohol levels ranging from 0.43 to 0.95 promille.

In recent days, several traffic incidents in Klaipeda County have highlighted ongoing issues with drunk driving in the region. Notable cases include a 64-year-old Audi driver who registered a blood alcohol level of 0.70 promille and a 58-year-old Nissan driver with a level of 0.66 promille. The incidents occurred between February 16 and the following days, reflecting a pattern of impaired driving in the area that warrants public attention and concern.

Further complicating the picture, additional drivers were stopped for similar offenses, including a Chrysler operator with a measured alcohol level of 0.95 promille and a Ford driver at 0.43 promille, illustrating the dangerous situations that arise when individuals choose to drive under the influence. The report emphasizes the frequency of these occurrences in various locations within the Klaipeda region, where individuals appear to be unconcerned about the risks associated with impaired driving, whether in cars or on bicycles.

The implications of these incidents are significant not only for road safety but also for public health and local law enforcement's response strategies.
