What matters

Cycling with a blood-alcohol level of 1.6‰ or more generally leads to an MPU order. Below that level, additional circumstances may still raise doubts about fitness to drive.

Check the authority’s deadline and examine your drinking history, why you rode and what has changed. The appropriate preparation and evidence depend on your individual situation.

Frequently asked questions about instalments

MPU preparation at myMPUonline can be paid in two instalments. The key questions answered briefly:

Yes. The MPU Standard and MPU Premium packages can be paid in two equal instalments: the first before the start, the second during the preparation.

No. The total price stays the same – no interest, no processing fees, no surcharges. The amount is simply split across two payment dates.

No. There is no credit agency check and no loan contract. The instalment plan is a direct agreement with myMPUonline, confirmed in writing before the first session.

No. The fee of the officially accredited assessment centre, abstinence proof and laboratory costs are paid there directly and are not part of the preparation.

Right after the first instalment arrives. There is no waiting time compared to a single payment – the first session is scheduled in the free initial analysis.

Yes. Instalments are available regardless of where you live, including participants from Darmstadt and the wider Rhine-Main region – online and on site.
