Early Saturday morning (February 14) at around 2:50 a.m., officers conducted a routine traffic stop on Bergischer Ring and encountered a novice driver whose voluntary breathalyzer test registered a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.07%. The 20-year-old, who was driving a Volkswagen, claimed she had only consumed alcohol-infused chocolate. At the police station, a second, legally admissible test was administered—by which time her BAC had risen to 0.09%. Authorities prohibited her from continuing her journey, and she was issued a citation for violating Germany's zero-tolerance alcohol ban for probationary drivers.
