A driver with a foreign license plate was stopped by police after erratic driving behavior, and a breathalyzer confirmed an alcohol level so high that the device could not measure beyond five promille.

Both the driver and passenger were tested for alcohol; the passenger's device also halted at five promille, indicating extremely high intoxication levels.

The police immediately confiscated the driver's license and collected a security deposit, noting that the driver did not have a fixed residence in Germany.

In Germany, driving with more than 0.5 promille is illegal, and exceeding 1.1 promille is considered absolute inability to drive, which can lead to criminal charges.

The blood alcohol level of the driver was so high that the measuring device could not record it beyond five promille, indicating a life-threatening level of intoxication.

Blood alcohol levels over four promille are extremely dangerous, causing loss of reflexes, coma, shock, circulatory failure, and potentially death, with levels above five promille being almost always fatal.

A man was stopped on the A67 in southern Hesse for dangerous driving at approximately 220 km/h with a blood alcohol level of 4.16 promille, which is life-threatening.

The driver was observed driving erratically and at high speed, and police confirmed his alcohol level of 4.16 promille during the stop.

The incident posed a severe risk, but fortunately, no injuries or fatalities occurred, likely due to chance.

Both the driver and passenger were detained, with the driver surrendering his license immediately, and the vehicle was stopped on a parking lot beside the A5.

The police noted that the driver did not have a fixed residence in Germany and collected a security deposit during the arrest.

The case underscores the dangers of driving under the influence, especially at levels exceeding 4 promille, which can be immediately life-threatening.
