This brings considerable risks for all street users!

control shaft strikes immediately!

In the said morning, around a dozen police officers were mobilized in Lüneburg, especially on the street "in front of the new gate", to check the driving ability of road users. These measures are part of an intensive training of the police that aims to fight against driving inaccuracy. These controls are no coincidence - they are part of a comprehensive plan under the "Specialist Strategy Transport 2027", in which the focus is on the dangers in road traffic.

The police estimate that drug and medication consumption are considerable causes of accidents. A worrying increase in cannabis consumption in the recent past has exacerbated the situation. With the release of cannabis, awareness of the risks when driving has been lost under the influence. Despite the new limit values for THC in road traffic, the danger of this consumption remains obvious. The Lüneburg police announced that further controls will follow to sustainably improve security on the streets!
