It was supposed to be a weekend of celebration and fishing for three friends, but on Friday the driver was checked drunk with 1.72 g / l of blood by the gendarmes of Villefranche-de-Rouergue.
Three people had left to treat themselves to three days of fishing in Aveyron, but the weekend was cut short. On Friday July 15, 2022, the BMO gendarmes in Villefranche-de-Rouergue checked the fishermen’s vehicle and subjected the driver to a blood alcohol test… which turned out to be much higher than normal. The person who was driving had a blood alcohol level of 1.72 g/l of blood.
He confessed to the gendarmes having had a drunken evening with his two friends until 5 am, and that they had taken the road after only 3 hours of sleep towards Cassagnes-Beghonnes.
Controls all summer
Three hours was clearly not enough to bring down this sky-high blood alcohol level. “The departmental gendarmerie group of Aveyron recalls that in this period of tourist affluence, motorcyclists from the EDSR (among others) will be present on the roads of the department throughout the summer in order to fight against the ‘road insecurity’, recall the police on their social networks.
