Alcohol and drugs at the wheel: Chaos in Ludwigshafen at the weekend!

Ludwigshafen, Deutschland - In Ludwigshafen, several cases of trips under the influence of drugs and the influence of alcohol were found last Saturday. The controls that took place in different parts of the city have serious consequences for some drivers. On the night of October 19, especially between 1:40 a.m. and 5:00 a.m., the officials consistently showed that road traffic is not without risk if drivers are under the influence of substances.

The first control immediately caused a sensation. A 19-year-old man from Ludwigshafen was stopped at 1:40 a.m. in Rheinuferstrasse. He found drug symptoms typical of drugs, which showed him as unsuitable for driving. A urine test brought clear results: the young driver had consumed marijuana. Because of this, he was denied the onward journey, and the police took a blood sample from him. The driver is now looking forward to an administrative offense procedure based on § 24a StVG, which regulates driving under the influence of narcotics.

consequences for another driver

Another example occurred shortly afterwards at 4:48 a.m. In Zollhofstrasse, the officials stopped a 25-year-old driver from Lambsheim. Here the breath smell was unmistakable. A alcohol test carried out resulted in a value of 0.81 per thousand, which is clearly above the permissible limit of 0.5 per thousand. This driver was also prohibited from continuing, and he will also have to expect an administrative offense procedure.

These incidents are not only legally important, but also show how important traffic safety is. Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol can have serious consequences not only for the driver himself, but also for other road users. The police will continue to carry out controls to minimize such dangerous situations on the streets. The incidents in Ludwigshafen are an urgent appeal to all road users to act responsibly.
