A police patrol noticed a vehicle weaving across the A4 motorway late on Wednesday afternoon, and pulled the car over near the Esch-sur-Alzette exit. The driver yielded a positive breathalyser test and did not possess valid paperwork, so officers issued a provisional driving ban.
Two other drivers were stopped for driving whilst under the influence of alcohol overnight; one car was pulled over on the A7 near Mierscherbierg, while a second was stopped in Bonnevoie at 12.45am.
Officers in central Luxembourg flagged down a vehicle at the Helfent-Bertrange motorway exit at 9.20pm on Wednesday due to a strong smell of cannabis emanating from the car. The driver admitted he had consumed the drug prior to getting behind the wheel. A search of the vehicle yielded both the drug and utensils required to consume further drugs.
Earlier in the week, police carried out large-scale alcohol checks in Ettelbruck, Bettendorf and Ingeldorf, from 8.30pm on Tuesday until 1.30am on Wednesday morning. 739 vehicles were checked, with 13 drivers testing positive during breathalyser tests. Four people had their driving licences confiscated as a result.
