Drug control on B303: 37-year-old drives without licence and under the influence of cocaine
During a traffic control on federal road 303 near Himmelkron in Kulmbach district, police stopped a minibus with 15 occupants – although the vehicle only had nine seats. This is reported by the Süddeutsche Zeitung.
The 37-year-old driver exhibited signs typical of drug use and tested positive for cocaine. He could not produce a valid driving licence to the officers; further investigations confirmed according to police that he had no valid driving permission. Police prohibited him from continuing and took the man for a blood test.
At the end of the control, six fellow passengers had to get out. A fit passenger with a valid driving licence was allowed to continue the journey afterwards.
The 37-year-old now faces proceedings for driving without a licence, driving under the influence of drugs and several violations of the road traffic regulations.
