Police officers from the Daruvar Police Station caught two drivers operating vehicles under the extreme influence of alcohol. Both drivers were driving without valid licences, the police reported.
The first incident was recorded at approximately 21:20 on Petra Svačić Street. Police officers stopped a car with Bjelovar registration plates, driven by a 25-year-old man. It was established that he was driving before obtaining a licence, and a breathalyser test determined his blood alcohol concentration to be 2.01 g/kg. He was taken to police offices and placed in a designated room until the effects of the alcohol wore off. An indictment will be submitted to the competent court against the 25-year-old.
The second incident was recorded at approximately 23:50 on Stjepan Radić Street. There, police officers stopped a car with Bjelovar registration plates, driven by a 40-year-old man. It was established that he was driving while his licence had been revoked due to accumulated penalty points. A breathalyser test determined his blood alcohol concentration to be 2.21 g/kg. He was also taken to police offices and placed in a designated room until the effects of the alcohol wore off. He will be brought before the competent court with an indictment.
The police once again warn drivers not to operate vehicles under the influence of alcohol, nor before obtaining a licence or during a driving ban.
