A 25-year-old resident of Szczecin who was riding an electric scooter caught the attention of traffic police. “The officers stopped him for inspection, suspecting that the way he rode the scooter might be due to his intoxication. A moment later, it turned out that their suspicions were justified, because the police breathalyzer showed 2.5 mg/l of alcohol in the exhaled air, which gives about five per mille,” we read in the police statement.
