Driving under drugs: Police stops drivers without a valid driver's license

Bingen, Büdesheim (ots)

In the early evening of September 4, 2024, in Bingen, more precisely in Büdesheim, an incident that not only leads to legal consequences, but also penetrates the problem of driving under the influence of drugs. At around 5:45 p.m., a patrol from the Bingen police had become aware of a vehicle with a Binger identifier. The reason for the control was simple, but crucial: the driver was not wearing a seat belt.

A lax security awareness at the wheel can have fatal consequences. The 32-year-old driver also seems to have forgotten this. During the subsequent control it turned out that he could not show a valid driver's license. However, he claimed to be in the possession of a Bulgarian driving license - a statement that should quickly prove to be wrong. The police research team, always in search of the truth, found that the driving license mentioned was not valid.

Surprising results of drug control

But that wasn't all. Other insights that came to light during control show that the matter is much more serious. There were signs of recent consumption of narcotics. This leads the officials to voluntarily carry out a rapid urine, and the test confirmed the fears of the police officers: the driver had actually consumed drugs.

The consequences for him could be serious. He was brought to the police station, where a blood sample was taken from him. This measure is important to make it clear whether and which drugs were involved and to what extent they have affected its ability to drive. The case highlights a recurring problem: People who take part in the influence of drugs on road traffic not only pose a danger for themselves, but also endanger other road users.

The legal consequences are clear: The 32-year-old must now be responsible for driving without a valid driver's license and for driving a motor vehicle under the influence of narcotics. This not only means possible fines, but also an entry in the certificate of good conduct, which could have long -term effects on its mobility and quality of life.

  • Vehicle control on September 4, 2024

Overall, this event shows how important it is to be aware of the traffic rules. Compliance with safety regulations, reviewing your own driving license, and avoiding drug use before driving are essential to protect yourself and other road users. It remains to be hoped that such incidents will not become a habit and that responsibility in road traffic will be taken seriously. The Bingen police will continue to be vigilant and carry out such controls to ensure security on the streets.
