A young man was stopped by Valencia Local Police and charged with a traffic safety offence for drunk driving just four days after passing his driver’s licence, despite the fact that the Directorate General of Traffic (DGT) is meant to issue him a physical licence via mail. Officers discovered that the young man was driving a Peugeot RCZ stopped on Avenida Cardenal Benlloch in Valencia with nearly six times the legal alcohol limit for inexperienced drivers.
The 24-year-old novice driver, a Croatian national, was sentenced to a 720-euro fine and an eight-month driving suspension after admitting the facts in a fast-track trial, even before receiving his definitive driver’s licence.
At 5:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 20th, Valencia Local Police officers stopped a Peugeot RCZ vehicle on Cardenal Benlloch Avenue in Valencia. The driver, a 24-year-old guy, displayed signs of intoxication, so the cops took a breathalyser test.
In the first test, his blood alcohol level was 0.89 milligrammes per litre of exhaled air, and in the second, it was 0.84 mg/l, both of which exceeded the 0.60 mg/l standard for a criminal offence. Furthermore, given that he is a rookie driver and the maximum limit for this sort of driver is 0.15 mg/l, the young man would be exceeding the legal limit by nearly six times.
