MPU for Alcohol: Everything You Need to Know

Drunk driving is the most common reason for an MPU in Germany. Whether it was a single incident or repeated offences, NEUSTART in Duisburg and Mönchengladbach will guide you through the process.

When is an alcohol-related MPU required?

In Germany, certain blood alcohol levels automatically trigger an MPU requirement:

  • 1.6 ‰ and above: MPU is always required.
  • 1.1 ‰ and above: Absolute driving unfitness – MPU is typically ordered.
  • 0.5 ‰ and above: MPU may be required for repeat offences.
  • 0.3 ‰ and above: MPU possible if there were signs of impairment or an accident.

How to prepare for an alcohol MPU

At NEUSTART, our qualified psychologists work with you individually to analyse your drinking behaviour and develop lasting behavioural changes. Preparation typically takes 6 to 12 months, supported by abstinence documentation where required.

Honesty and genuine self-reflection are the keys to a positive outcome. We help you develop both.

Häufige Fragen

Can I pass the alcohol MPU without abstinence?
In some cases, controlled drinking may be sufficient. However, this only applies to first-time offenders with no signs of a drinking problem. We will advise you honestly on the best approach for your case.
How long does preparation for an alcohol MPU take?
Depending on abstinence requirements, 6 to 12 months. The psychological preparation runs in parallel with the abstinence period.
What are the most common mistakes?
Downplaying your drinking behaviour, lack of genuine insight, and reciting memorised answers instead of showing real self-reflection.
