Police in Konin, a city in western Poland, intercepted a 40-year-old Lithuanian citizen on the A2 motorway. The individual was initially stopped by authorities due to an observed unlawful turn. During the subsequent inspection, police discovered that the man was intoxicated.
Testing revealed that his body contained a blood alcohol level exceeding 1 promil, leading to his immediate arrest and subsequent transfer to a detention facility. The following day, the Lithuanian citizen appeared before a court in Poland. During the hearing, he was sentenced for driving under the influence and for speeding infractions.
The court imposed a substantial penalty, including a fine of PLN 2,000 (approximately 463 euros). Furthermore, the man was prohibited from operating a vehicle for a period of three years. In addition to the fine and driving ban, the court mandated that he pay PLN 5,000 (approximately 1,160 euros).
This payment is designated for the Fund for Victims of Crime and for assistance, fulfilling the requirements following his conviction for driving while drunk. The incident underscores the ongoing enforcement efforts by the police regarding impaired driving within Poland.
