Traffic offenders in Gifhorn: Police impose fines and blood tests!
In Gifhorn, the police remain active on the streets and uncovered several traffic violations on August 11, 2025. How regionalheute.de reported, the checks took place between 10:25 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. on the K114 near Dannenbütteler Weg. A 25-year-old woman from Wesendorf was noticed sitting behind the wheel without a driver's license.
Just a short time later, at 12:00 p.m., officers stopped an e-scooter rider on the K144 bike path. Not only did the driver not have an insurance license plate, but he was also uninsured. Another explosive discovery: the man had consumed cannabis the day before, as a preliminary urine test confirmed. The police initiated an administrative offense procedure and took a blood sample from the driver.
Drugs and e-scooters: A risk for everyone involved
The risks of drugged driving, including with e-scooters, should not be underestimated. A ruling by the Berlin Administrative Court states that e-scooter drivers who are under the influence of cannabis must expect an immediate revocation of their driving license. In 2022, a driver was caught snaking and had a THC level of 4.4 ng/ml in his blood. This shows that even with smaller vehicles such as e-scooters, the dangers of drug use are enormous and do not constitute a free pass. The decision of the Zweibrücken Higher Regional Court also confirmed: Drunkenness and drug abuse endanger road traffic and penalties must be imposed immediately in such cases, regardless of the type of vehicle.
In the afternoon there was also a hit-and-run accident in the parking lot of an EDEKA market in Gifhorn. The damaged blue Seat Arona was damaged and the person who caused it made off without permission. The police are therefore asking for information from the public.
More checks and frightening results
Later that evening, the police checked a 44-year-old man on Gifhorner Strasse. Here too, the preliminary urine test for cannabis was positive and he was banned from continuing his journey. Such incidents illustrate how important the presence of the police in traffic is.
The general tenor is clear: drugs and alcohol on the roads are a major problem that should not be ignored. Loud adac.de The danger of an e-scooter cannot be reduced by drug or alcohol consumption. Every road user should be aware of the consequences this entails.
The Gifhorn police will continue to carry out many checks to ensure safety on the streets and will consistently punish violations. It is up to each and every one of us to act responsibly on the road.
