The patrol team that arrived at the scene found that the woman was driving at an unreasonably high speed. She was tested with a breathalyzer which showed 2 ppm of alcohol.
Every third crime in Bulgaria is a traffic accident, and the cases of drink and driving, after using alcohol or drugs, are on the rise, according to the study "Trends and Prevention of Road Transport Crimes".
No one was injured in this incident. But alcohol gives drivers false confidence, decreases alertness and reduces motor coordination. People who drink alcohol cannot react adequately and promptly.
The woman also gave a blood sample for chemical analysis. Fast-track proceedings were initiated against her.
