With 2.3 Per Mille in Zigzags on the Vienna A23: Police Stopped Drunk Driver

A car was driving in a zigzag manner on Friday evening on the Vienna Southeast Tangent (A23) heading north. Officers from the state traffic department, who were conducting a focused operation, noticed the vehicle with Polish license plates around 8:00 PM, reported police spokeswoman Anna Gutt. When they asked the driver to follow them for a check, he attempted to flee.

Drunk Driver Stopped by Vienna Police After Short Chase

However, he was stopped after a short chase. The 36-year-old driver had not attempted to flee without reason: He gave the police the driver's license of a friend. When confronted that the photo on it did not resemble him at all, he said it was a friend's license because he did not have one himself. An empty vodka bottle was lying on the passenger seat. This also explained the 2.3 blood alcohol level the 36-year-old had.

He was prohibited from continuing to drive, and he had to hand over the car keys. Additionally, the 36-year-old was reported on suspicion of using someone else's identification and under traffic law regulations.
