The Local Police of Málaga has initiated proceedings against the driver of a school bus serving in Benalmádena after testing 1.39 mg/l of alcohol, nine times the maximum allowed. The events occurred on September 11 at the company's premises in the capital.
A school bus driver covering routes in Benalmádena is being investigated for an alleged offence against road safety after a breathalyser test showed a level of 1.39 milligrams of alcohol per litre of exhaled air, nine times the legal limit for professionals, set at 0.15 mg/l. The investigation is being conducted by agents of the Local Police of Málaga, who initiated proceedings following the events that occurred on the afternoon of September 11, as reported by Diario Sur.
The alert came from the transport company itself, which notified 092 upon seeing that the worker arrived at the premises, located in the capital of Málaga, showing clear signs of intoxication. Witnesses reported that he could not manoeuvre and made erratic turns and accelerations, prompting orders to stop the vehicle due to the risk of colliding with other parked buses. A colleague boarded the bus and confirmed that the man was drunk and had urinated and defecated inside.
The bus had finished transporting minors at 17:00 hours in Benalmádena and arrived at the Málaga premises around 17:20. The police who arrived observed clear signs of intoxication, so they instructed him to undergo a breathalyser test, which he voluntarily accepted and was taken to the GIAA.
After being read his rights as an investigated but not detained individual, he was issued a summons for a fast-track trial without detention. The Penal Code punishes driving under the influence of alcohol with prison sentences, fines, community service, and the withdrawal of the driving licence for motor vehicles and mopeds.
