Epiphany: customs, superstition and magical traditions!

On Epiphany, January 6th, the police became particularly active in Salzburg. A 39-year-old Flachgauer was stopped in Nußdorf, who not only drove without a driver's license, but also had a positive drug test. In addition, his vehicle was obviously neglected because the Pickerl had expired since July 2024 and the car has rusted through. The officials put him on. Another remarkable event occurred in Rochusgasse in the state capital. A 29-year-old Salzburg was stopped here after he had got into oncoming traffic. Thanks to the quick reaction of another driver, there was no accident. With him, too, the rapid drug test showed the consumption of marijuana, which made him fit for driving. The driver's license was also taken away from him.
