E-scooter drivers under drugs: Police switch on in Bingen!

in Bingen, early Sunday morning, a 48-year-old e-scooter driver was checked by the police around 2:45 a.m. The officers had become aware of him when he was traveling on Hitchinstrasse. During the check, the police found that the man had signs of a recent drug use. Such signs can include different physical features, such as a changed pupil reaction or uncoordinated motor skills.

A speed of drug test carried out confirmed the suspected drugs: the man had consumed both cannabis and amphetamine. This finding is particularly alarming because the influence of drugs on traffic safety must not be underestimated. The police decided to prohibit the driver on the driver. A blood sample was taken from him for evidence purposes, which is sent to a laboratory for precise analysis.

legal consequences for the driver

For the 48-year-old driver, this could now have serious legal consequences. He faces a criminal proceedings and a fine procedure. The criminal proceedings are usually initiated if there is suspicion of a more serious crime, while the fine procedure often punishes less serious violations, but can also result in high fines.

The police are encouraged to take such incidents seriously because they endanger not only the driver but also other road users. The police controls are therefore an essential component of traffic safety in order to keep drivers from driving under the influence. As part of the traffic safety acts, the police have increasingly introduced drug tests in recent years to raise awareness of the dangers of driving under the influence of drugs.

These incidents clearly show the need and relevance of preventive measures to make the streets safer. Traffic monitoring and regular controls can help reduce the number of accidents caused by drug abuse in road traffic. The police appeal to all road users to act responsibly and in no way endanger the safety in road traffic.
