Drug test in Pinzgau: Police pulls two speeders out of circulation

yesterday the police in the Pinzgau region carried out routine controls by drivers and vehicles, in which two men were pulled out of circulation due to drug abuse. The first road user, a 21-year-old, was stopped in Maishofen during the second driver, a 38-year-old, in Zell am See.

Both drivers showed positive results in a rapid drug test that pointed out on cannabis. This underpins today's challenge that more and more drivers encountered: the influence of drugs on driving ability. Parties and authorities agree that such behavior cannot be tolerated to ensure the safety of all road users.

Ärztliche Untersuchung und strafrechtliche Konsequenzen

In the Tauernklinikum Zell am See, a clinical examination was given to both drivers. The doctor found that they were impaired by drugs and thus suitable for driving. Diese Feststellung führt dazu, dass den beiden Männern die Führerscheine vorläufig entzogen wurden, und sie durften ihre Fahrt nicht fortsetzen. This not only faces the drivers with legal consequences, but also with the responsibility to possibly change their behavior in the future.

The police have announced that the complaint is filed against both men. Such measures were not only a punishment, but also as a prevention to protect other road users and ensure that the streets remain safe for everyone. The entire procedure is critically observed by the police to recognize tendencies and to promote long -term changes in traffic safety.

The incidents in Maishofen and Zell am See are a striking example of how the police proactively act against drug abuse in road traffic. Die Polizei betont die Bedeutung solcher Kontrollen zur Aufrechterhaltung der Sicherheit und zum Schutz der Bürger.
