Shocking traffic stop in Braunschweig: drugs and arrest warrants discovered!
A large-scale traffic control took place on Wolfenbütteler Straße in Braunschweig on Friday afternoon. This action was part of ROADPOL Week, a transnational program to improve road safety in Europe. Police checked a total of 218 vehicles and uncovered a shocking number of violations.
Various violations uncovered
The results of the inspection were alarming. In addition to several violations of the weapons and compulsory insurance law, cases of driving without a license were also recorded. In addition, two open arrest warrants were executed. One driver also did not have a valid operating license. It is particularly important that four vehicle drivers were under the influence of narcotics - including three drivers and an e-scooter driver. Blood was taken from all four for further examination.
In addition, 38 traffic violations were identified, resulting in an impressive complaint rate of around 20 percent. These figures make it clear once again that it is time in Braunschweig to take the pressing problems in road traffic seriously.
Targeted measures throughout Germany
ROADPOL week is not an isolated case. As the Magdeburg clicks reported, increased priority checks in road traffic have been carried out for some time, particularly between June 16 and 22, 2025. The aim of these checks is to combat alcohol and drug consumption while driving. In 2022, there were 1,339 traffic accidents in Saxony-Anhalt under the influence of intoxicants, resulting in 15 deaths.
Anyone traveling on the streets in the coming weeks should be particularly careful. The police will expand controls and set regional priorities in order to further increase road safety.
Increased focus on alcohol and drugs
Another Report from press portal points out that increased controls will also take place in other regions, such as the Vorder- and Southern Palatinate, from June 16 to 22, 2025. A special day of action is Friday, June 20th, when a “marathon” of controls will be carried out. The police take their task of ensuring road safety very seriously. In 2024, alcohol and drugs were relevant causes of 620 traffic accidents, which unfortunately also resulted in 62 seriously injured and three killed people.
Conclusion
The numbers and incidents that have emerged from recent traffic controls in Braunschweig and other regions are an urgent wake-up call. In order to keep the number of road deaths and serious injuries as low as possible, close monitoring and rapid punishment of violations is essential. The community must work together to make the streets safer. This is the only way we can all reach our destination unscathed.
