Drug frenzy on the lawn tractor: man caught driving!
In a somewhat curious episode in German traffic safety, two men were recently in the focus of the police who allegedly wanted to put themselves at the wheel under the influence of drugs - or in one case, rather on a lawnmower. This is what happened in Gröbzig in the Anhalt-Bitterfeld district and in the Rhineland-Palatinate Münchweiler on the Rodalb. In both cases, the drivers were stopped by the police - the consequences are not without.
On Friday evening, an attentive resident in Gröbzig noticed a man on a lawn tractor who performed strange maneuvers. The inconsistencies in his behavior quickly indicated a possible influence of alcohol or drugs. The police were also informed. During a check at the driver's home address, the police found a warm turf tractor. The driver, already known to the police, stated that they had consumed cannabis. A voluntary drug and alcohol test followed: While the latter was negative, the drug test showed positive cannabis proof. The police then initiated a procedure for suspicion of the leadership of a vehicle under the influence of drugs, and a blood test was ordered, reports TAG24 .
lawn mower or vehicle?
Not only in Gröbzig, an unusual vehicle caused a sensation. In Münchweiler on the Rodalb, the police also stopped a 26-year-old man who moved on a public road on a “built on a car” on a public road. The vehicle was equipped with a roof, windshield protection (including windshield wipers) and a radio. The driver, who was in a drug rush, also had no driver's license with him. The police ensured a blood sample - the result is still pending. It also remains unclear whether the lawn mower can receive these modifications at all, such as ADAC , there is a risk of considerable punishments that can range from fines to several years of prison. It is particularly questionable that even the slightest amounts in the blood are punishable. From August 22, 2024, a THC limit of 3.5 ng/ml applies to adults, and even an absolute ban on 1 ng/ml.
for beginners In both cases, the parties not only have to struggle with the law, but also have to expect financial consequences. The total costs for a drug trip, including legal and procedural costs, can quickly add up to around 5,000 to 7,000 euros. In addition, there are civil law consequences, such as the co-liability in the event of accidents and possible recourse claims of vehicle liability insurance.The police will continue to observe such incidents closely and take measures to safety in road traffic. It is to be hoped that the two gentlemen from Gröbzig and Münchweiler will learn from these experiences and take traffic safety seriously.
