Drunk Driving and Vehicle Violations Lead to €8,000 Fine in Castel San Giovanni

A 60-year-vintage man in Castel San Giovanni, Italy, has been issued a substantial fine of €8,000 after being caught driving under the influence of alcohol in a vehicle lacking valid insurance. The incident, handled by the local police (Polizia Locale), also revealed the driver’s license had been previously suspended due to a prior DUI offense.

Details of the Incident

The Polizia Locale of Castel San Giovanni observed the vehicle being driven erratically along Corso Matteotti, exhibiting a zig-zag pattern. A subsequent breathalyzer test confirmed the driver was intoxicated. Further investigation revealed his driving privileges had already been revoked following a previous conviction for driving under the influence. Adding to the offenses, the vehicle was found to be uninsured.

Penalties and Legal Consequences

As a result of these combined violations, the 60-year-old man faces both criminal charges and a significant financial penalty. The €8,000 fine reflects the severity of the offenses – driving without a license, driving under the influence, and operating an uninsured vehicle.
