Hello everyone
my name is Vivek and I have a situation where I am so confused and stressed that I don't know what to do anymore
I hope someone can give me advice who has been through a similar situation.
I moved to Germany in 2019 (due to work from India) and stayed at home for the most part shortly after the lockdown.
When lockdown was lifted for a night of socializing with new friends, I drank far more than the limit and was caught drunk riding an e-scooter in 2022.
----------
A BAC level of 1.8% was detected and I was caught falling off the e-scooter at around 3.00am before a police check
Since then, I have paid a fine of 1200 euros, as ordered in a letter from a lawyer. and waited another year.
In June 2023, I applied for a new category B197 driver's license, as I had never had one in Germany before.
I never received a response from the driver's license authority as to whether my application would be processed, but after a year of waiting and calling, I received a letter from them asking me to create an MPU in order to be able to get a new driver's license.
---------
As of 05.04.2024, as stated in the letter, I must select an MPU assessment centre within two weeks and complete the entire MPU process by 02.07.2024
In the meantime, I did some research and spoke with TUV Nord course etc to find out how to pass the test successfully.
The answers are mixed and I'm so confused about what to do.
My main question is whether proof of abstinence (6-12 months) is required in my case.
This doesn't make sense because the driver's license department didn't give me enough time to provide medical proof that I no longer drink alcohol.
What should I do now? I have no choice but to book the test and show up for my MPU, as I only have three months left.
Please someone guide me, I don't know the law of the land
