DUI oh my!
Well, I have racked up another encounter with the German Politzei. Last night I was stopped at a check point and tested for DUI. I had a very long day, 10 hours in the car driving back and forth to Paris for a 4 hour customer meeting. I got back to Karlsruhe around 12:30am and decided to stop at the pub and have a pint. Well I had 2 pints and no dinner in my belly and since I felt sober I decided to drive home. I only live 3 minutes from the pub (by car) and in that short of a distance there was a police check point. Shit! I failed the first breath test but passed the second (just barely) and allowed to drive home. I was absolutely shitting myself. I was so scared that I was going to be in serious trouble. Never never never again. I also received another speeding ticket 2 weeks ago. I think I am going to stop driving all together.

Tsk, tsk. Good thing you didn't get pinched. From what I've heard the Europeans are tough on DUI. Not as bad as Sweden.
As for the speeding, is there a way to fight those things like there is in the US? My driving history and police encounters report would be a 2 MB Excel file. Yet my driving record is clean. I'm just waiting for a book deal to sell my secrets.
You've turned into a little outlaw over there!
I'm a trouble maker for sure! I'm not sure about fighting the law in Germany. I imagine that the law system here is quite complicated. Might take more time than it is worth. Espcially for a 15 euro ticket.
Toonces, I anxiously await the book. Should make for some interesting reading!
you should maybe walk next time miss, especially since it's a couple of block from your house!!! hahah
