Drug offender on e-scooter: 17-year-old caught during inspection!
Last Thursday, June 19, 2025, large-scale traffic controls took place in the Delmenhorst urban area. Between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., the Delmenhorst disposal unit had its hands full. A total of 33 vehicles from various categories, including vans, sprinters, cars, e-scooters and trucks, were examined. As News.de reports, there were several positive results, but also some revealing violations.
The check led to a total of four traffic offenses and 14 reports of traffic violations. What particularly caught the eye was a young e-scooter driver who not only had not insured his scooter, but was also under the influence of narcotics. As noted in Presseportal.de, not only was a blood test carried out on the 17-year-old, but narcotics were also confiscated. The investigation against him has already been initiated.
Road safety
The issue of drugs on the road raises important questions. Anyone who drives under the influence of illegal drugs such as cannabis, cocaine or amphetamine is committing a misdemeanor, even if no driving errors occur. According to Polizei-Beratung.de, such violations result in fines of 500 to 1,500 euros and driving bans of one to three months. For novice drivers, the probationary period can even be extended by two years.
Anyone who is found to have drugs in their blood and endangers other road users or causes accidents must expect significant criminal consequences. Penalties can range from imprisonment for up to one year to five years, depending on the severity of the incident.
Consequences for the 17-year-old
In the case of the e-scooter driver, it will become clear what measures he can expect. According to estimates, the total costs for him if an MPU and other procedures are carried out could be over 2,000 euros. This is intended to set an example and ensure traffic safety on northern German roads. With the careful checks, the police in Delmenhorst want to give the citizens back a feeling of security.
The control data provides insightful insights into how important such measures are in everyday life. Ultimately, every accident prevention initiative counts in order to protect life on the roads.
