Drugs behind the wheel: father with children in the car caught during inspection!
There was recently a traffic stop in Goslar that highlighted several alarming aspects. On July 7, 2025, a 45-year-old man from Salzgitter was stopped on Schützenallee. Unfortunately, not only was he under the influence of narcotics, but he also had not properly restrained his children. The drug urine test came back positive for cocaine, which led to a blood sample and his further travel was prohibited. In addition, he is now facing criminal proceedings for driving under the influence of drugs and violations of the Narcotics Act, as regionalheute.de reports.
Accidents with injuries are also a current issue in the city. On the same Sunday afternoon, an incident occurred in downtown Goslar in which a 41-year-old man from Osterode had to brake due to traffic. A 16-year-old motorcyclist from Goslar was unable to react in time and hit the car. Fortunately, the motorcyclist only sustained minor injuries and was treated on site as an outpatient. The material damage to the vehicles involved is estimated at around 2,000 euros.

Drugs behind the wheel – a serious problem
The problem of driving under the influence of drugs is not new, but it is risky. Drugs such as cocaine and cannabis significantly increase the risk of accidents. Violations not only result in fines, but also points in Flensburg and driving bans. Things become particularly explosive during the probationary period: Here, the probationary period can be extended and an advanced seminar can be ordered for the first violation, as bussgeldkatalog.de explains. Anyone who is caught repeatedly faces even more drastic consequences. This makes it all the more important to keep an eye on road safety.
Training and raising awareness among road users is essential so that such incidents do not become more frequent. With reference to the upcoming measures and the ongoing discussions at the traffic court days, it is clear that the topic of cannabis and drugs while driving remains explosive.
