As the publication notes, currently in Germany, drivers aged 21 and over are allowed to have 0.5 per mille of alcohol in their blood to get behind the wheel. But recently, Brandenburg's Minister of Transport, Detlef Tabbert, called for it to be reduced to zero.

"I, of course, recommend getting behind the wheel without alcohol," Schnieder commented on the proposal.

At the same time, he stated that he considers the current limit of 0.5 per mille to be "sufficient and targeted."

At many social events, out of politeness, people raise a glass and take a sip, without thereby endangering road traffic

More categorically, however, the head of the German Ministry of Transport spoke about drivers' cannabis consumption.

I am very critical of cannabis. I consider its effect on road traffic to be relatively unpredictable. We must carefully consider this issue during this term
