58-year-old driving school student had over 1.3 per mille during final exam in Český Krumlov
A 58-year-old driving school student was found to have a blood alcohol level exceeding 1.3 per mille during a final driving test in Český Krumlov.
In Český Krumlov, police apprehended a 58-year-old man who was taking a final driving test with an instructor and a testing commissioner in the car. Despite their lack of observation of any signs of intoxication, the police conducted a breathalyzer test that revealed a blood alcohol concentration of over 1.3 per mille. This event occurred on March 6, capturing the attention of local authorities and the community alike.
It was further disclosed that the driver had a history of multiple convictions for driving under the influence of narcotic substances, which led to the loss of his driver's license previously. As he was already legally disqualified from driving, his chances of obtaining a new license seem bleak. Authorities have indicated that instructors at the driving school are prohibited from conducting breath tests, and they must alert the police if they suspect a student is under the influence, which creates a gap in safety protocols during driving tests.
The man is currently under suspicion of committing a misdemeanor for threatening public safety while under the influence and is slated to face court proceedings within the next two weeks. If found guilty, he could be sentenced to up to one year in prison, raising concerns about road safety and the effectiveness of current driving school regulations in preventing such incidents.
