Drugs behind the wheel: Police check drivers in Goslar and Langelsheim!
Last week there was a remarkable incident in Goslar that once again shows the dangers of drug use on the road. The Goslar police carried out a stationary traffic stop in the 'Im Schleeke' area and discovered that two drivers were suspected of drug use. They had to expect administrative offense proceedings and were no longer allowed to continue driving. The police emphasized the importance of these checks to increase road safety and also punished numerous other traffic violations during the check. Regional today reports that the authorities want to take active action against drugged driving.
Drugs on the road should not be underestimated. Driving under the influence of illegal substances such as cannabis, heroin or cocaine is not only committing a criminal offense, but also endangering the safety of all road users. According to information from the police Even the use of drugs without driving errors leads to severe penalties of up to 1,500 euros and driving bans. The consequences can be devastating, especially when it comes to drug-related driving errors that can lead to accidents. This could result in prison sentences of up to five years.
The legal framework
The legal consequences for drug driving are clearly regulated. In addition to fines, there is also a risk of points in Flensburg and driving bans. The regulation is particularly stringent for novice drivers or people under the age of 21, for whom an absolute drug ban applies. Even though cannabis may be legal under certain conditions, driving under the influence is still an absolute no-go. Loud ADAC From August 22, 2024, the limit value for THC in blood serum can be 3.5 ng/ml for adults, but stricter rules apply to novice drivers.
If you then take into account the financial burden that can arise from drug driving - including legal and procedural costs of up to 7,000 euros - it becomes clear that the price for a moment of carelessness can be devastating. Especially since the costs for a medical-psychological examination (MPU) after a driving license has been revoked can be considerable. The ADAC is therefore calling for increased information and controls in order to increase road safety.
