Drug driving in Schmalkalden: driver without insurance and driving license!
An incident of a special kind occurred today, July 15, 2025, in Schmalkalden. Officers from the Schmalkalden-Meiningen police station discovered a broken down vehicle, which turned out to be a sensitive case. When the driver was checked, it turned out that the car had no insurance cover. But that wasn't all - a preliminary drug test also came back positive.
Results of the preliminary drug test were alarming: the 27-year-old driver was under the influence of cannabis and amphetamine/methamphetamine. This led to a blood draw to provide further clarity. As a result, the driver was banned from continuing to drive and the police are now processing a complaint against him. According to news.de, this is a typical example of violations of the Narcotics Act.
A dangerous influence
Unfortunately, such incidents are not isolated. A similar case was discovered in Schmalkalden on November 2, 2024. A 27-year-old Mercedes-Benz driver was checked by the police and was also under drugs. The preliminary drug tests were positive for cannabis, amphetamines and even cocaine. At the same time, the Italian driving license the driver presented was fake. The police reacted promptly, took a blood sample at the Schmalkalden Clinic and confiscated the forged document. The investigating authorities then initiated proceedings for forgery of documents, driving without a license and driving under the influence of drugs, reported Bild.de.
How can such incidents become more frequent? According to [soztheo.de](https://soztheo.de/kriminologie/betaeubmittel criminalitaet-drogen-recht-praevention/), drug crime plays a role in society that should not be underestimated. Many sufferers succumb to the pressure and temptations, which endangers not only their own safety but also the safety of others.
Conclusion
Today's incident in Schmalkalden shows how important it is to defuse such situations through consistent police checks and preventive measures. It remains to be hoped that the consequences of such offenses will also have a deterrent effect on other drivers, so that roads can finally become safer again.
