E-Scooter Alcohol Offence - Traffic Lawyer
Alcohol limits, licence risks, and defence options in Germany
If you face an alcohol allegation after riding an e-scooter, the key issues are the blood-alcohol level, how the ride is classified, and what this means for both criminal proceedings and your licence.
These issues usually matter most:
- ›Review of the alcohol reading, the stop, and the legal classification
- ›Assessment of the risks for criminal proceedings and your licence
- ›Evaluation of whether MPU, a driving ban, or further measures are threatened
- ›Clear lawyer guidance on the right defence strategy
You receive a clear first assessment of how robust the allegation appears and which consequences are realistically on the table.
Important to know: Many people underestimate that e-scooter rides can trigger the same licence risks as other road-traffic conduct.

Can an MPU also be threatened?

Mr. Lerch provided me with highly professional, calm, and dedicated support throughout my legal proceedings. I particularly appreciated his honest assessment of my case and the clear communication he maintained throughout the entire process. Thanks to his strategy and preparation, we achieved a significantly better outcome than originally anticipated in the penalty order. I felt well-advised and taken seriously at all times. I can therefore wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Lerch and thank him again for his support. B. Paal
