Information on alcohol

Example: You have taken part in road traffic (including by bike) with too much alcohol in your blood (more than 1.59 per mille) or have been noticed several times in the past 10 years with alcohol values of 0.51 per mille or more.

What happens next?

The traffic authority will be informed about the matter by the court and when your embargo period has ended, you will receive the condition for an MPU from the traffic authority.



Please keep in mind that you will lose a lot of valuable time if you react too late and wait until the end of your embargo period.
Use the driving license ban and find out how to proceed.


In particular, you should inform yourself about a necessary abstinence from alcohol if it is a question of alcohol values of over 1.8 per mille or if your alcoholic drive was noticed at the normal time of day.

If it has already been a repeat offense, proven alcohol abstinence is always necessary.

If there is an alcoholic illness, therapy is always required before an MPU is undertaken.



The driving license authority asks the question:
"Is it to be expected that the person examined will continue to drive a vehicle, including a bicycle, under the influence of alcohol in the future? Are there any impairments as a result of uncontrolled consumption that call into question the safe driving of a vehicle?"


Further orders according to § 13 FeV for alcohol problems:

Facts that justify the assumption of alcohol abuse (e.g. according to a medical report), a vehicle in road traffic with a BAK (alcohol level in the blood sample) of 1.6 per thousand or more (corresponds to AAK = breath alcohol concentration of 0.8 mg / l ), the driver's license was withdrawn for one of the reasons mentioned above or it has to be clarified otherwise whether alcohol abuse or alcohol dependence no longer exists.


The term "alcohol abuse" is to be understood legally in the sense of Annex 4 FeV as a lack of ability to distinguish between impairing alcohol consumption and driving a vehicle.
