A woman in Belgium was found to be driving under the influence of alcohol on the evening of November 26, after registering a positive blood alcohol content twice in a short period, according to reports.
Police stopped the driver in the town of Herentals after receiving a report of erratic driving. A preliminary breathalyzer test indicated alcohol consumption, prompting a blood sample to be taken for further analysis.
The results of the blood test confirmed a blood alcohol content exceeding the legal limit. Remarkably, a second test conducted shortly after the first also yielded a positive result, indicating the driver had continued to consume alcohol even after being stopped by law enforcement.
“The driver tested positive twice in quick succession,” police stated. The case underscores the dangers of driving under the influence and the potential for repeat offenses even after initial detection.
Authorities have not released the driver’s age or other identifying information. An investigation is ongoing, and the driver faces potential charges related to driving under the influence.
