Shocking balance: police draw 15 driver's licenses in one night!

Under the leadership of the state transport department, 19 driver's licenses were removed. 15 of this withdrawal took place due to journeys under the influence of alcohol and 4 due to drugs. This is evidenced by the current reports from gailtal-journal.at and Kleinezeitung.at .

Total A total of 305 violations of the Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) and the Driving Act (KFG) were registered. In addition, 388 organ mandates were imposed, which underlines the seriousness of the measure. Even 21 cases of less alcoholization, which were also recorded, indicated increased control activity, which should create greater awareness among road users for the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs. These focused controls are part of a continuous strategy of the police that targets both prevention and consistent measures against traffic offenders.
