Key legal question
Whether the defendant committed evasion of measures to establish driving fitness under Art. 91a SVG by failing to report the accident and by post-accident drinking
Extracted holding
Yes. In an accident with property damage, the driver had to expect an alcohol test upon reporting; leaving without notification and later drinking alcohol fulfilled the offence objectively and subjectively by at least eventual intent.
Extracted reasoning
The collision caused non-trivial damage and was not attributable to an external cause. Under current Federal Supreme Court case law, a driver involved in an accident must generally expect an alcohol check. The defendant knew he had caused damage and consciously omitted the mandatory report; his subsequent drinking also prevented later determination of his condition.
