A driver’s reckless drive under the influence of alcohol could end in death, but happily ended with a four-digit fine and a years-long ban on driving, according to Degpunkta.
A few days ago, the security guards of the capital were able to feel like highway policemen or enjoy a bit of what they saw in the series “Anxiety for the Cobra 11”, driving a dangerous driver along the Sigulda highway.
As it turns out, the search for the car in question started a long time ago, when a message was received about a suspicious driver driving along Lubānas Street. A little later, another call was received that the car you were looking for might have already gone in the direction of Brīvības gatve.

“The patrol officers immediately went in the said direction, additional information was received that the car had left the administrative territory of Riga in the direction of Sigulda. Patrol officers headed for the car. The car was stopped on the A2 road. “

A moment later, an eyewitness, who was one of those who called the police, stopped at the stopped cars. He said that the driver had repeatedly entered the opposite lane and had the impression that he had used some intoxicants.
The senior inspector of the RPP Vidzeme administration says that the driver initially denied that he had consumed alcohol, but after further discussions confessed. The scene came to the State Police Traffic Police officers, who found alcohol in the driver’s body. It turned out that the leader is a Moldovan citizen.
Police: “2.92 [promiles]. It’s definitely not beer. Somehow, a lot. ”
Driver: “Fifty grams also…”
Police: “Of the fifty grams, there would be almost three per mille.”
Driver: “No, I drank beer in the morning. I went to the city and now I’m going back – I live in Saulkrasti. ”-
Police: “Why are you behind the wheel? You don’t feel drunk? ”
Driver: “No, I’m adequate.”
Police: “You have almost three per mille!”
For such a violation, the driver will be fined a large amount, which several times exceeds the value of his vehicle, as well as in the coming years in Latvia will be forbidden to sit behind the wheel.
