A 35-year-old man with 2.6 per mille of alcohol in his exhaled air got behind the wheel. First, he hit a road sign and then damaged several cars parked along the street. People who noticed this called the police and prevented the perpetrator from driving any farther, potentially preventing more serious consequences and a potential tragedy.
The police remind everyone that driving a vehicle while intoxicated is a criminal offense punishable by up to three years in prison, a hefty fine and a driving ban. The attitude of Legnica residents demonstrates that vigilance and civic responsibility can have a real impact on limiting this type of dangerous behavior.
