Saint-Georges-de-Reneins. Nearly 2 g of alcohol in the blood while driving: a fine of 2,000 euros

A resident of Gleizé was coming out of a drunken evening on May 22 when he was checked on the D306 in Saint-Georges-de-Reneins.

The man struggles to speak and staggers. And when the gendarmes ask him what he has consumed, the driver replies: “In quantity or in quality?” »Not really to the taste of the court which judged him for these facts Friday, June 25. Especially since this 62-year-old man is not at his first attempt. This is the third time he has appeared for similar facts in court. ” What should be done ? “Thunders the president of the hearing. “Send a retiree to jail to understand?” Your behavior questions because when you are asked why you did not sleep in your car, rather than taking the road, you explain that it has not even crossed your mind! “

“I went from a delicious moment to a calamitous one”

The defendant explains: “I spent 18 hours in a sobering-up cell… Odious hours, during which I did an audit of myself. And I didn’t get great things out of it. I went from a delicious moment to a calamitous one ”.

The prosecutor is asking for a fine of € 900, the cancellation of his driving license with a ban on retaking it within 10 months and the confiscation of the vehicle (which had been seized).
