Drugs and alcohol: Police stop numerous drivers in Kitzingen!
The streets in Kitzingen currently seem to be a dangerous place for negligent drivers. In recent days, the police have carried out increased checks to increase road safety and minimize the dangers of drug and alcohol consumption on the roads. These measures show clear results.
How fnweb.de reported, extensive traffic controls took place in Kitzingen and the surrounding area on Monday. On Monday evening at 5 p.m., an 18-year-old was stopped on a moped on Mainbernheimer Straße. He was suspected of drug use, which resulted in a blood sample being taken.
A little later, at 10:30 p.m., the officers checked a 26-year-old e-scooter driver on the Steigweg who had a positive urine test. Here, too, a blood sample was taken. Another example of negligent behavior was provided by an 18-year-old driver who drove onto the street on Alemannenstrasse without a valid driver's license. But the police didn't have enough for this evening: At 12:30 a.m., a 25-year-old was stopped on Repperndorfer Strasse who actively admitted to having consumed cannabis, which resulted in a blood test.
Impairment of driving due to alcohol
However, the drug problem is not the only one that the police have to deal with. On Friday, the Kitzingen police carried out a series of checks to detect alcohol-related unfitness to drive. At around 8 a.m., a 52-year-old motorhome driver was stopped on Mönchbergstrasse. Here too, the police noticed typical drug-related abnormalities, which led to a blood sample being taken. At 8:15 p.m., a 43-year-old was stopped on Königsberger Strasse whose odor of alcohol was so noticeable that a preliminary test showed over 1.1 per mille. This led to his driving license being revoked and he was also subjected to a blood test.
An additional check came across a 23-year-old e-scooter driver at 2 a.m. on Panzerstrasse, who was also heavily under the influence of alcohol and drugs. The police have clearly shown that driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs is not only a crime, but also poses serious risks to all road users.
Violations and their consequences
The penalties for alcohol and drug traffic violations are clearly regulated. How on bussgeldkatalog.org As can be read, a first offense will result in a fine of 500 euros, plus two points and a one-month driving ban. Anyone who is found guilty several times will face even higher penalties. It becomes particularly critical above 1.1 per mille - in this case there is a risk of driving license revocation and possible prison sentences.
The police also announced that they will continue their controls in Lower Franconia to increase road safety and to ensure that reckless drivers are removed from traffic.
The results of these controls clearly show that drugs and alcohol on the roads are a serious problem that requires a targeted and consistent response from the traffic authorities. Measures to educate and ensure road safety will continue to be a top priority in the region.
