I went to court once because the morning after a party, I still blew just over 0.05.
While there, I saw a guy who had his lawyer dad there speaking for him. The guy was in stopped traffic, mounted a sidewalk, hit a child on their bicycle, and fled the scene, later telling his dad who called the police.
He got a 1 year suspension on his licence, no jail time, and fine like 900€. I remember hearing the person behind me say, "Fucking bullshit" as we waited for our turn.
In comparison, I got 300€ and a six month suspension, no record. I was told it would be worse, but it was clear that I was unaware that I may have still had alcohol in my system. Which is true, because I stopped and went to bed early, knowing I had to be up early to drive to the markets.
Apparently I could've also hit children and sped off the road to get around traffic for just 600€ more...
