Rapid chase on the A7: Opel driver escapes from the police!

Rhüden, Deutschland - A spectacular incident occurred on the evening of July 4 on the A7 motorway near Hildesheim. A 25-year-old man from Osterode am Harz caused excitement with a daring escape. The Hildesheim motorway police stopped the driver who was traveling with an Opel Combo towards Göttingen at the Hildesheimer Börde tank and rest area. But instead of stopping, the young man continued to ignore the time of the A7, which triggered a chase of about 20 minutes, such as n-tv.de reported.

The persecution led the fleeing driver to the Rhüden junction, where he left the highway and imported into the urban area. Despite the efforts of the police to pull it out of the circulation and stop his car, the driver refused to stop and continued his escape until he finally came to a standstill in a field north of Rhüden and tried to flee on foot. After a short persecution, however, the police were able to provide him.

drug influence in road traffic

When checking after his arrest, it quickly became clear that the driver was under drugs. There is a suspicion that he had consumed cocaine at the time of his escape, which was checked by a blood sample. This is not just a one -off incident; The number of drug trips in Germany is not stagnating, it has been increasing for years. According to statistics, the registered drug trips between 2004 and 2021 more than doubled - from 24,700 to around 36,882.

The young man is now charged with an unauthorized motor vehicle race and drunk in traffic through the influence of drugs. These crimes show how risky and dangerous trips are under drugs, both for the drivers themselves and for other road users.

social and political aspects

The increase in drug trips is not only due to increased consumption habits. Rather, legal changes and improved training programs for police officers are also decisive factors. These legal adjustments enable the police to act eager against drug trips.

But the undisclosed undiscovered drug rides will probably remain high. According to a survey from 2011, 27 % of those surveyed stated that drug use was not recognized during police controls. More and more road users risk their lives and that of others by driving drugs.

The incident on the A7 reminds us of how important it is to be vigilant and keep the streets safe. It is up to all of us to act responsibly in road traffic and to avoid possible dangers.
