60 ads during tuning controls in Salzburg
During the controls on the tuning and road runner scene, a total of 15 cars were presented to the Salzburg state government. The officials approved 60 reports and other 22 board mandates. 29 serious defects were found and the license plates were removed from seven vehicles because of “imminent danger”, the police reported in a broadcast on Saturday.
Two drug drivers caught
But not only the tuning scene is closely monitored, the police also have drug drivers in their sights. Around 6 p.m., a police patrol on Lieferinger Hauptstrasse in the city of Salzburg was met by a car that was driving in the middle of the lane. The police were able to stop the driver, an 18-year-old German, at the Lierferingen tunnel underpass. An alcohol test carried out at the traffic control was negative. A drug test returned positive for THC and cocaine. During a search of the vehicle, the police surely surprised small amounts of cannabis. The driver’s license was taken from the German on site and no further driving was prohibited. He will be reported to the district administration and the public prosecutor’s office.
After completing the previous traffic control, a driver, a 39-year-old Bosnian, drove past the patrol. Since the vehicle smelled strongly of cannabis, the police officers drove after the car and stopped it on Lieferinger Hauptstrasse near the Peter-Pfenninger-Strasse intersection. The alcohol test was negative. A drug test that was carried out was positive for THC. The driver’s license was removed on site, no further driving was prohibited and a complaint was permitted.
Near collision during traffic control
After completing another traffic control, a car driver, a 39-year-old Austrian, drove a 39-year-old Austrian, temporarily and collided with the car of the previous controls. The police officers checked the woman. There could be a strong alcohol smell. The driver refused to take an alcohol test. The driver’s license could not be removed because the Austrian did not have it with her. The vehicle keys have been and the display has been rebuilt, it says in the end of the averaging.
