Stopped in Trnje for a violation, then 'inflated' almost two per mille! He received a hefty fine

A 36-year-old man in Zagreb, Croatia, has been handed a hefty fine and a driving ban after being caught driving under the influence and committing traffic offenses. The incident occurred in the Trnje district when police stopped the driver for ignoring a traffic sign.

Officers observed the driver making a left turn at an intersection where a sign indicated that only right turns were permitted. Upon pulling him over, police discovered he was not carrying his driver's license. Further checks revealed a blood alcohol content of 1.83 promila, significantly over the legal limit.

The driver was subsequently arrested and brought before the Municipal Misdemeanor Court in Zagreb. He was found guilty of the charges, resulting in a fine of 2,710 euros. Additionally, the court imposed a protective measure banning him from operating motor vehicles in category B for a period of one year.
