Alcohol level nine times the limit on Málaga school bus

The driver who allegedly multiplied the rate by nine

How much alcohol fits in a school bus? According to the report published, nine times the permitted rate for a professional driver. Málaga Local Police are investigating the driver of a vehicle that, according to another media outlet cited in the forum, served several educational centers in Benalmádena. The incident occurred on the afternoon of September 11th, in the Carretera de Cádiz District, Málaga. According to witnesses, the driver was unable to maneuver—making senseless turns and accelerations—to the point where he was instructed to pull over due to the risk of colliding with parked vehicles. The case was published on September 16th.

What is known about the Benalmádena school bus

The bus concluded its transport of minors at 5:00 PM in the municipality and arrived at the facility located in central Málaga around 5:20 PM, according to the cited newspaper in the thread. Among the figures circulating about the case is a rate of 1.3, always above the threshold required for a professional driver. The investigation remains open.

Drivers are scarce and the CAP bureaucracy is suffocating

Aside from this specific case, the debate insists that there are no drivers—neither good nor bad—there are simply none. Anyone who arrives at the office with their license and valid CAP [Professional Aptitude Certificate] passes the driving test and takes the keys. The responsibility of contracted companies is also on the table: if the company fails, they lose the contract, and that represents a lot of money. One current of analysis criticizes the CAP as an absurd obstacle, a procedure that, according to one participant, takes 600 hours and costs nearly a thousand euros. Opposing this view, another user recounts the case of an acquaintance who moved to Germany with a driver's contract because here, no one would hire him without years of experience.

The conclusion that repeats in part of the debate is that those who endure the bureaucratic ordeal pass, and those who know how to drive leave; only then does alcohol testing come into play.
