VW with 3.67 BAC crashes into peaceful life on Amatas Street: even the lake wasn't deep enough to hide
On Liepāja's most remote street, police caught a driver with such a high blood alcohol level that even the local fish in the lakes would feel dizzy.
Amatas Street, usually so quiet you can hear the lake reeds growing, experienced truly spectacular excitement on Tuesday. Police there caught a Volkswagen driver with 3.67 BAC — so much alcohol that even the Liepāja Cultural Center café doesn't mix drinks that strong.
"I thought they were filming a movie on our street," says local resident Juris. "At first I thought — well look, another one from Riga who doesn't know where they're going. But it turned out — someone simply didn't know where they were going in life."
Amatas Street, which stretches almost right along the lakeshore, is usually an ideal place for peaceful walks and thoughts about life's meaning. But this time, some lady decided it was an ideal place for driving with 3.67 BAC. Unfortunately, her math skills turned out to be weaker than her chemistry knowledge — she didn't know that such a remote place doesn't mean an invisible place.
Law enforcement has long known that Liepāja's quiet little streets are like a magnet for those who think alcohol improves driving skills. This time though, the readings were so high that even Liepāja residents, who are used to all kinds of weather conditions, were surprised. 3.67 BAC — that's almost as much as the percentage by which Liepāja folks beat Riga folks in any singing competition.
