Police headquarters:
We remind you that riding a bicycle while intoxicated is an offense that may result in a substantial fine. Alcohol significantly reduces concentration, slows reaction time and affects motor coordination, increasing the risk of an accident.
We appeal to all road users to exercise common sense and responsibility. Intoxicated people on the road pose a threat not only to themselves but also to others.
