Alcohol and drugs: Traffic accidents in MV increase alarming!

Neubrandenburg, Deutschland - alcohol and drugs at the wheel are also a pressing problem in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in 2024! According to the current traffic accident statistics, alcohol ranks 4th in the main causes of the accident and has only improved minimally. Drugs also play a role, the number of traffic offenses found is alarming: 3,980 because of alcohol and 1,997 because of drugs. And they are not only drivers who are a risk-cyclists and e-scooter users are also increasingly falling into the trap of the intoxicated drive.

With the legalization of cannabis on April 1, 2024, the regulations become even stricter: a limit of 3.5 ng/ml applies to THC in the blood serum, and mixed consumption with alcohol can result in sensitive punishments. In particular, beginners and people under the age of 21 must now be particularly careful - a total ban on cannabis applies here! The police are increasing checks worldwide in June 2025 in order to achieve the “Vision Zero” goal - no more roaddressers. The message is clear: driving under influence at all!
